What's up, girl?
Speaker 1:Hi Thaddeus, Thank you for having me again. The first time was fun and we weren't really friends. Then the second time we were like friends and then this time I would consider you a good friend. So we're moving, we're moving our way up, you know, and I'm I'm stoked to be here again. I, of course, I will do this for you every time.
Speaker 2:Right on, because every year that's the plan it's going to be you and Aria pretty much, and Hoppa at least once a year.
Speaker 1:I love it. I love it. Yeah, no, I'm honored. I'm honored per usual.
Speaker 2:Well, the honor is mine and I definitely wanted to have you. I felt pressed for time because you're moving and I wanted to have your last episode in, at least for this time around in Hawaii your last Hawaii episode, because you're moving to the mainland, I'm around in Hawaii, your last.
Speaker 1:Hawaii episode because you're moving to the mainland. Yeah, everything is changing and it's changing really fast, literally, I think. How many days do I have? Saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday went five days left in Hawaii. That's it, I mean, for the time being at least. I'll be back, of course I'll be back, you know, back and forth, but I mean living in this space that I'm in right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, only five days left.
Speaker 1:How bittersweet is it Like how long have you been living in that space and that's your own little apartment? Yeah, I've been living here since 2021. So four years, yeah, I think we literally moved in February of 2021. I love my space Like it has nothing to do with like needing a different space, although the apartment that I will be moving to in San Diego is bigger than this space. That's not the point. It was like the perfect amount of space for me and then eventually you know cause my dogs came into the picture in 2023, I got Ramsey in um February of 2023. And then I got Solana in December of 2023. So it was the perfect little. They're both bothering me right now. It was the perfect amount of space for they're just both at my feet right now. So how's that going to work?
Speaker 2:when you move up there with with the dogs.
Speaker 1:They're, so they're coming with me.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're like, oh, like, are you taking your?
Speaker 2:dogs and I'm like what kind of mom do you think I am leaving like the humps here, like I was more asking how it works, where I assumed that I would. Yeah, I, I guaranteed knew that there you were gonna bring. I was trying to figure out how does one bring dogs to the mainland, because I know in hawaii you gotta kennel them for a long time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Mainland to Hawaii is much harder than Hawaii to the mainland. Hawaii to the mainland, you really don't need much. But mainland to Hawaii is a lot more of an extensive process. They got to go through quarantine. You have to have certain paperwork. For mainland to Hawaii it's way easier. You just for me, because they're both small. They're going to come with me, so I'm flying with my parents. My parents are coming with me. They're going to help me move up there. Yeah, it's like just like college, even though I'm 30 years old or almost 30 years old, I'd be with Aria too.
Speaker 2:So that's how it works, that's how it should be. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1:Totally so. Um, they're helping me move. So my mom or my dad, I still haven't. Whoever wants to take one of the dogs will take one and then I'll take the other and they can just go like in front of our seat. Cause they're so small, ramsey's kind of big. I'm a little worried about her, so I'm a no problem, she's small, she'll fit, you know, and she'll be chill in that carrier but Ramsey's like pushing it in the carrier.
Speaker 1:So we will see um, or no, can no, you're not supposed to, but we're flying the red eye. Um plus, I'm going to ramsey. That's enough.
Speaker 1:Um plus, I'm going to put them on some sort of medication to mellow them out oh so hopefully they'll just be, if you want for them no I got some vet, you know some vet medicated things and we're gonna be cruising, hopefully ready to go, because you know the last thing anybody wants on a red eye is dogs crying. So, oh yeah, I'm gonna make sure that they're like asleep, asleep, like I don't want to think about nothing. So that's how we're going to do it, and listen if they cry. Babies cry on flights all the time.
Speaker 2:So don't even give me a break. Plus, you're never going to see those people again. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:I mean, I hope not.
Speaker 2:All right. Well, let's back it up a bit. It's been a crazy year since the last time I had you on my show for you and the reason why you're moving, because everything got flipped upside down on you and we don't have to get into that whole thing. I did want to say I, while getting ready for this episode, I kind of prepped a little bit and I stumbled on the video of you saying I'm talking about how you're leaving, I heart.
Speaker 2:And yes, I watched this video and I seen the tears in your eyes and um which, by the way, there's a longer cut where I'm crying much harder.
Speaker 1:I actually cut a lot of it out. I cut so much of it out, but I had to leave a little bit. I was like I have my. My personality has always been about authenticity, like it's always been about. I'm going to be honest, I'm going to be transparent. Now, I don't have to share everything, yeah, but I can be honest about how I'm feeling, and that's kind of like what that video was about. So, yes, I was crying. Anyway, go on. I'm sorry I was watching it today.
Speaker 2:I was watching it today and then I realized, like the sadness and hurt I was watching you feel and I kept thinking to myself, oh, if I, if I could go back in time and tell that girl a few months back what she's going to be doing now, like she'll be so stoked. And I was thinking, oh yeah, if I could tell her, like everything's going to be good, something good is going to happen, something great like this is, this was just a step piece alone.
Speaker 1:and then I realized I did say all that shit when you dropped that video so I'm like okay, so very very few people, not very few, but, but some people called me after the video was posted, like some people texted me. You were like one of the people that called me after that video and you were like, but you call me kind of after like, or you call me. You're like a person who calls me in general, which not a lot of people do. Um, yes, I remember you. I think you were like one of the first ones to call me. Yeah, I think you saw it like pretty fast, like, and were like one of the first ones to call me. Yeah, I think you saw it like pretty fast, like, and you were one of the first ones to call me and you told me kind of the same thing and I, after I made the video, I had stopped crying.
Speaker 1:After that. I didn't actually cry about about it after that. It was kind of just like a cathartic way of letting it out. So I think because I cried, people were really worried way of letting it out. Um, so I think because I cried, people were really worried. Um, but looking back on it, I'm kind of happy that I was honest about how I was feeling. Like I could have. I feel like I could have been. Are you? Am I still connected?
Speaker 1:sorry the audio yeah yeah, okay, um, and I like I could have faked the funk, I feel like, but I but I didn't, and I wanted to be authentic about the whole situation and I was. I'm looking at my call log now and yeah, you like, you called me several times. In fact, you called me three times on the day and you're one of the first ones to do so. So, yeah, I mean it's isn isn't it crazy that? Well, I knew, okay, I cried about it, but I knew that things were going to work out the way that they were supposed to. I was always a believer that things were going to work out the way that they were supposed to.
Speaker 1:I wasn't super surprised about what happened, um, because Sam and Ryan had gotten let go in March. I knew it was only a matter of time that they were going to. You know, take like a morning show solo is not something that is common knowledge or something that happens all the time. So I knew it was a ticking time bomb. I just didn't know.
Speaker 1:I thought that they would like move me to a different station I thought that was going to happen where they would be like, ok, like, listen, we're going to get rid of the beat, like I, I fully saw that coming, that was not a surprise.
Speaker 1:But I thought, okay, we're getting rid of the beat, we're going to put you on Island or full-time on pop or KS is K, like I thought I was going to get moved around, but to get cut completely was like that was a surprise. Uh, and it definitely was. Yeah, it was sad, you know, because that was my gig, that was like my livelihood and I, after it happened, I there was a lot of conversation with myself, with my family, with my friends of like is radio my identity? Like did I equate who I am as a person to radio and that was kind of like the crisis I was having and it was a lot. It was. It was good that I had a trip planned for right afterwards, like it just so happened that I was going to go anyway, so it was good. That was a really good way to like kind of take a load off for sure.
Speaker 2:I definitely understand that whole identity thing. When I used to compete and teach, I thought that was my identity and I was thinking like when I stopped then who am I?
Speaker 2:but I realized eventually that that's not the case. It's not your identity is what you do like you're becky, and your personality and who you are is what transcends to your job. It's not the other way around. Your job doesn't create who you are. You create how people perceive you at your job. One thing shitty about you leaving the radio for me and my daughter was like we looked forward to your show every morning and that was part of something that both aria and I bonded over like we would talk about some of your segments, or and and aria was super bummed when I told her like she's like what, what are we gonna listen to now?
Speaker 2:and she was like, what is she gonna do? And I was kind of explaining to her. By the way, she is so stoked to be going on sunday, yeah she's going away party.
Speaker 1:Good, I'm glad, by the time this comes out, the party will have already happened.
Speaker 2:So yes, I'm glad I'm so glad I'm excited for that. Yeah, but I think that when everything happened, I just for you, I felt like fuck, this kind of had to happen so you can make that next move to whatever it's going to be. And what I don't get is the the radio station now plays a mainland show that, like blows, I don't get it.
Speaker 1:They're gonna be my co or my colleagues, because I'm going back to iHeart so I'm not gonna say too much well, I can that that show is not the business.
Speaker 2:I know they did the same thing with star and they brought the woody show on and it was a mainland show that yeah, because you like alternative music. That's yeah, yeah and that show is is better it's. It's not my cup of tea as much, but the show that they brought to to replace your show what is? Yeah, I don't even know how that's good in the mainland, but that's my opinion. That's.
Speaker 1:That's just my opinion well, it's been happening a lot all over the country. A lot of rhythmic stations don't really I mean hip-hop, r&b, pop that's always going to be like my favorite genre of music, but it doesn't typically do very well in radio because that particular audience is streaming music and if they're streaming music, they're not usually listening to the radio. If they are listening and people talk, they're listening to podcasts, which is fine. Um, it's something that you know. Not only did I acknowledge, but Sam Ryan and I all acknowledge that that was happening. And so, yeah, like you know, not only did I acknowledge, but Sam Ryan and I all acknowledged that that was happening and so, yeah it. Like you know, we weren't like, oh my god, we're so shocked, like we kind of it was like we knew this was happening.
Speaker 1:And also they say in radio that if you don't get cut at least once, then you haven't been in radio like long enough. Oh, I'm sorry, I tried to fix this. So they say that. They say that everybody in radio gets cut at least once. I'm sorry, this is gonna bother. There we go if I don't move it. They say everybody. They say everybody in radio gets cut several times. So it was not like I mean I was surprised how quickly another radio gig fell into my lap, but yeah, no it was. It's been a crazy few months.
Speaker 2:That's all I can say about it well, there's a few things I wanted to talk to you about, I know, for one of the things I wanted to talk about was you kind of started impressing me with you the way you've been hitting your fitness goals and how serious you started taking your uh workouts and stuff, and that kind of happened a little bit prior to you get um, getting let go yes, well that, yes, I wasn't getting laid, so I had to do something.
Speaker 1:I had to do something cardio is a must somehow no, I just I was not.
Speaker 1:I was just not comfortable with my body and I felt like I wasn't as attractive as I wanted to be. And, um, if, yeah, from about July yeah, july of last year, so July of 2024, was when I started to take it really seriously. Like, end of July, so more like August, is when I started to take it really really seriously, I lost 30 pounds pretty quick and then it kind of got stagnant, but I'm still actually, within the last few weeks, I've probably gained a little bit of weight back because I've been so stressed. I've just been eating like I've been so hungry, like so hungry, but I'm still keeping up the workouts, I'm still trying to work out. But when I was unemployed for that very short amount of time, I was working out like twice a day because I didn't have anything else to do. So I was, I leaned out, um, but a lot of it had to do with that. I just felt like I just didn't feel confident. I didn't feel like myself.
Speaker 1:Um, I had a very like and this, this could be very helpful for girls and boys out there, but my libido was low and so I was like you know it, like maybe, and I heard exercise does something for that. So I just mostly I wanted to be more attractive, and that's going to sound like really vain, but it no, it drastically improved my mental health too. It drastically improved my mental health, my physical health and, yeah, like even like my social life got better because of all the exercise and watching what I eat and drinking protein shake coffees in the morning. You know what you know I dropped the weight is I was drinking protein shakes with coffee for breakfast and then I would eat yogurt and tuna packets for lunch and then for dinner I would get a little fucking disgusting. And then at dinner I would go a little bit harder but I would do something like broccoli and chicken, but I would do like a bigger portion of that.
Speaker 1:And then I was working out like every day, every day I'm still working out, you know, and I'm, I'm going to continue to work out, even when I'm at. I'll probably drop the weight when I'm in San Diego, hopefully, hopefully. The stress has just been like no cause, I've been drinking a lot and I've been eating a lot. I just attributed to stress, but I know that I can. I know that I can drop the weight. So I was like, okay, I'm just gonna. I was going to enjoy my time left that I have here and just think about it too much as long as I continue to work out, which I have been. So, yeah, thank you for noticing.
Speaker 2:Well, it makes sense because when you exercise, you're releasing endorphins that make you feel good serotonin. Also, once you start seeing results, to me that's the biggest motivator. Once you're like oh shit it's working, like, oh, I'm getting stronger, I'm losing a little bit, and then it's like it's working.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is a medium. I used to wear larges, so the results speak for itself largest.
Speaker 2:So the results speak for itself and I noted notice how hard you're working, like you said, you do two days and stuff like that and I think just your work ethic behind everything you do just needed that as a target, like, okay, I'm gonna take this fitness in a little more serious and health a little more serious, and then you're just the Becky mitts work ethic was put behind that and then the results come. So it's kind of easier thing to do because you already have the mindset and work ethic Once you have a target to focus it on, if that makes sense.
Speaker 1:You know, I always struggled with my weight too. To be honest with you, I always struggled with with it. I really don't know what made a difference now versus like all these other times I've tried to drop weight, um, but it's, it's always like it's always been a struggle of mine. I was slim in high school because I was playing basketball and I was slim in college, but then when I turned 25, I just well, the pandemic. I turned 25 during the pandemic and I was just eating like all the time, super depressed because it was a pandemic, I mean, that was like it for everybody. And then I put on like a lot of weight. I was close, I was close to deuce. I was close to 200 pounds. I was like, I think, at my heaviest, I think my heaviest, I was like 185.
Speaker 2:Wow, so I never even hit 185.
Speaker 1:I think the most I ever was was 160. Oh my God, that was like my goal weight for a long time. But yeah, no, so I I just well. I had a goal of 30 by 30. So I wanted to lose 30 pounds by 30. And then I did that pretty quickly.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 1:So now it's just kind of maintaining I, I still, I still want to be slimmer and slimmer, and slimmer, but I'm proud of the progress that I've made, Like I'm proud of it and um well, I'm proud for you because, um, you look a lot happier.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying you need to lose all this weight, but you look a lot happier and I think if you're feeling good about yourself, it's always gonna show, and I think yeah, well, it helps that I've got a new job and I'm moving to a new city.
Speaker 1:Like I look happier.
Speaker 2:I mean I, yeah, I'm definitely, I'm definitely happier, for sure, for sure, yeah, for sure prior to you getting your job in san diego, you took this situational job for the newspaper. That was kind of cool and I, because of your job and what you did, made me realize how many people still read the newspaper, because anytime you put my picture on there I got tons of messages, dms, of people with screenshots or pictures of the newspaper and I'm thinking like you read the newspaper or like how do you be happy?
Speaker 1:I mean, my job was worth it. No, because you're my like, most supportive, one of my most supportive reliable friends, like when I. When you think support, when you think reliability, I think you, because I mean, granted, I have a lot of it. Comes with it. Are y'all for real? Sorry, they're beefing right now. Can you hear them? Sorry?
Speaker 1:No like when I, when I think about reliable and supportive friends, it's like it's not necessarily a long list, so when it's like, okay, I need somebody to do this for me and I need them to do it fast and I need to be able to to know that I can rely on them. I think that is.
Speaker 2:Oh great, which everybody's always like why do you call him Thaddeus?
Speaker 1:I'm like that's his name. That's his name on social media. It's literally Thaddeus. The name of the podcast is Above the Bridge with Thaddeus. I was like what do? You mean Tina, anyway, so I think Thaddeus, so I had you in the crave. I think you were in like the first crave poll. I did. No, I think Hoppa was the first one, you were like the second.
Speaker 2:The second yo.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and it's because they needed a celebrity. And I was like who do I know that's a celebrity?
Speaker 1:that I could call right away to do this for me, and so that's the only reason I chose Hoppa. But no, I just know that I can rely on you and with the midweek, so I'm under the midweek umbrella, but I don't I don't really contribute to midweek at all, to be honest. But one of my colleagues was like oh, can you ask, like one of your friends, to do the midweek poll? And I was like I can, I know someone who will do it. Right, it was thaddeus. I was like I know someone and it's thaddeus. So like you're just so reliable and I'm so glad that people still listen, or read the newspaper, for that matter. Between newspaper and radio it was kind of like a patch 22, like either or could have, could go away at any time. So I'm glad people are still are still reading it, for that matter, and that's that's hilarious that they kept seeing you in it yep, definitely.
Speaker 2:And how did you even get into that and did you have fun doing it?
Speaker 1:loved it I want the record to reflect loved it. In high school I wanted to be a writer. I actually wanted to be a writer. I was writing for our school's newspaper. I wrote for our literary journal. I wrote fictional stuff. I wrote non-fictional stuff. I love to write, I actually love to write.
Speaker 1:So the opportunity fell into my lap. Kelly, who was the previous editor, left for a different position and she actually recommended me for the job. Um and it, just the timing ended up working out where I was going to be unemployed and yeah and it it. Honestly, I have no regrets taking that job. The San Diego thing was just something that also fell into my lap. A crave fell into my lap as well. I loved especially the column that I do Hot and New. I can really be myself in that column and I can really have a voice in it. I'm super proud of all of the columns that I've done and I'm so glad I was able to do it and I have something to show for it and it's something that, like I'm a published author, like, yeah, when I was in, yeah, when I was in high school.
Speaker 1:Actually, a funny story is when I was in high school I wanted to be a writer and I wanted to pursue writing for college and my English teacher told me look, I believe in you, I believe in your writing skills, but I think you're going to be limited in terms of your jobs if you pursue writing, so I want you to pursue communications instead. And so I took his advice, loved communications no regrets on that either. In fact, that's probably helped me with my radio career and then I ended up being a writer anyway. And when it came out that I was yeah, when it came out that I was the editor for Crave, he actually messaged me and said like I told you like everything was going to work out. I told you I believed in your writing skills. And he was like the only teacher that really believed in me, because I was a really bad student. I was a terrible student, but I was like I was.
Speaker 1:I love to write, I love to write. I'll never like not love to write. I love to write. I'll never not love to write. I hope to continue writing, even in this new career.
Speaker 2:Well, you kind of are. It's just kind of more mad living writing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I still write, but it'll be a little bit different in terms of what I'm writing.
Speaker 2:Who knows?
Speaker 1:Maybe I'll be a freelance writer, maybe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and honestly, it's good to have that on your resume as well. Mm-hmm, yeah, and honestly, it's good to have that on your resume as well.
Speaker 1:It was, although I will say that is. I feel bad that I was only there for such a short amount of time. I feel bad, I feel like I should have stuck there longer, but I had to. You know, like I mentioned in the video, like I had to pursue what I love, yeah, and it's understandable.
Speaker 2:I think, like with everything, they'll find someone else to to replace you. But the main thing is you're doing what you're passionate about, and I remember you telling me that you applied for this a few months ago and I thought you would get it. I thought it would have taken a lot faster.
Speaker 2:Like they would have hired me before, right after the new year or something like that and I was like, okay, well, she's good with what she's doing now, but I knew that was not nowhere near your end goal and I know, and it just like I loved it.
Speaker 1:Don't get me wrong, I loved it. I loved it, but it just never felt like fully me. I mean, granted, when I was writing the Hot and New articles, those definitely felt like me, but that was just one article every other week. Everything else I had to write about was it was writing about food, and it was like food prices. I loved it, though, don't get me wrong, I mean I got to eat for free all the time. Prices I loved it, though, don't get me wrong, I mean I got to eat for free all the time.
Speaker 1:That's not a bad gig to have, so I didn't dislike it at all in terms of that. But when I was in radio and when I was doing the morning show, it never, like I never woke up and felt like, oh, I have to go into work, like I just love to do it, and I was so happy to do it.
Speaker 1:And I was happy to do it for the rest of my life, which is how you should feel at work. My mom would always tell me. She would always say you're so lucky to have this job that you love, that you're good at, and I was. I am still very lucky that I get to do this job, because not a lot of people do you know yeah, and it's something that you're good at, in my opinion.
Speaker 2:I I've loved your show and I love when both you were. I thought you were the stronger person when it had Sam and Ryan. I thought when you had your own show it was. It was perfect for your.
Speaker 1:I was struggling I was struggling with the solo show.
Speaker 1:So it didn't seem that way, though oh yeah, I was. I was struggling in the beginning. It was really hard because it was such like because what happened? It was like I didn't have any warning. It was sam and ryan cut next day you're by yourself, which I had never done before. So it was like you're just, I was just thrown into it and then, as time went on, I kind of got used to doing that show by myself and I, you know it became fun after a while, but it's still never really felt complete. I knew it wasn't the best show that I could I could do.
Speaker 1:Uh, I'm better in a team and I'm excited, I'm excited to be with Jessie and Tati. I, when I had made that announcement, everybody said oh my god, you're gonna love Tati. And I was like I already love her she was the one who called me.
Speaker 2:I love Tati she. I knew her for a long time and she's yeah, I think I love her, that's gonna. That's gonna be a good match. So what is your whole new job gonna entail and how did this whole process happen?
Speaker 1:so now that now I got hired, I can I can say what happened. So yeah, I got let go. I want to say on november 4th and I think november 6th, I went on a trip. It was like I got let go and then, oh, I keep doing this.
Speaker 2:I'm so sorry no worries, I'm so sorry, let you can cut this part out. You can cut this out.
Speaker 1:Hold on, hold on, hold on oh my god, I'm sorry, it's the white wine, there we go okay.
Speaker 1:So I got let go. Two days later I was scheduled for a trip to go see Sabrina Carpenter in Portland. That trip was always going to happen, like that was. Before I got let go, I had no idea.
Speaker 1:While I'm in Portland, I get a call from Tati, who I had never talked to before in my life, never met her, and I, unfortunately, I'd never heard of her either. And I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, I just think that she's been in the mainland for so long that I just never heard of her either. And I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, I just think that she's been in the mainland for so long that I just never heard of her. So I get a call from her and she says you know, we were having this presentation about social media and they used you as an example in this presentation of how to do social media well. And she goes come to find out.
Speaker 1:You got let go. She's like why are they even still using your picture? And you're you know you as an example? Anyway, with that being said, she says we're having this executive producer position open, are you interested? And I said you know, I don't like. When I heard that, I was like I never, like I was an on on-air personality, like that's what I was doing and I know what an executive producer is. That's like jimmy the geek, who's very good at what he does, and I just had him on a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 2:Yeah, love him, right that's exactly what you know.
Speaker 1:So I was like, oh, I don't know, like I haven't really like done that before. And I was like I don't know, um, I'm on this trip right now in Portland. Like can I call you when I get back to Hawaii? She's like, of course, right, I'm on vacation. And I was in Seattle because I was going Portland to Seattle. Back to Portland, I was in Seattle and she calls me again and says, can you stop by San Diego on your way back? Like would you be down for that? Well, you know what I mean. And I was like, yeah, where am I going to go back to work? So I was like, yeah, sure, and even like, before I left on my trip, my sister was like I think you should extend your trip. So I think I was like scheduled to leave on a Wednesday and she was like you should just take it all the way to Friday. And she was like, just do it. So I extended my trip.
Speaker 1:I ended up in San Diego. I met with the program director, I met with Jesse, I met with Chati, I met with the senior vice president and I've had a little like interview process which I thought went. Oh, I even met the executive producer, who I loved. I love all of them, everybody like gave me such a great impression and I was skeptical of it before. But when I met everyone and I saw what the job entailed, I was like I want this job. Um yeah, and so all of that happened. Had a great weekend in San Diego, which you know about.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:God forgot about that. How is that going to play? Okay, we'll talk about that after.
Speaker 1:Well, let me just sidetrack. It's not going to play out, cause I blocked him on social media, so don't worry about that sidetrack. It's not gonna play out because I blocked him on social media, so don't worry about that. Um, but anyway. So after that weekend, after that weekend no, and you know, I do have a little bit of gratitude for that gentleman showing me around the city, because I ended up really loving the city. It really like solidified my decision and wanting to move to San Diego. I was like what a beautiful city. Like he took me to all the right places. So he like you can kind of give him a little bit of credit from this move to San Diego. Uh, but after that week, after that weekend, I had a great time. I was like, yeah, man, like I really want this job. But that was all the way back in November.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Anything. So I was like shoot, shoot, I don't think I got this job. Like you know, I haven't really heard anything like I don't think I got it. And then a couple weeks ago, I have a meeting with them and they're like we want to offer you this position and I took it. It it was crazy. It's just crazy how fast everything is moving.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, I feel like you can handle the speed and everything's moving. I want to know what exactly is your job going to entail for you to do? What is your job description?
Speaker 1:I will be back on the air in some capacity. It's not going to be as strong as when I was on the Sam and Ryan show, which I'm okay with. Yeah, I will also be doing like like midday afternoon shows on I'm not sure which stations yet that's something that's up to them to decide, but you'll get this little exclusive. There is a very, very, very, very, very good chance I will be back on stations here in Hawaii, since it's all under the IHON umbrella Most likely, most likely, pop 101.9. Ideally, I'd love to get back on the beat, but that station is really like um, they call it format center, so it's a lot of like outside jocks that are on that station. Besides, I believe dj milk and saffy are the only two like local jocks on there.
Speaker 1:Ideally, I'd like to go back to that station. I would be happy to. That's like my first, obviously my first love, and so so I would happily go there, but most likely it'll be Pop 101.9. It might be other stations as well, and, yeah, that's I mean okay. So the executive producer position essentially what my responsibilities are is creating social media content for them, for the show, turning that station into or that particular show into a brand, putting it all on social media and creating, like um, fascinating content, for lack of better words. Uh, I also am responsible for coming up with some of the content that they do on the show, some of the segments that they may have benchmarks, as we call it in the radio business. That's going to be another responsibility of mine. Picking up the phone calls, all things I did, by the way, on the Sam and Ryan show. I just was not labeled an executive producer. It's all things that I'd already done.
Speaker 1:Picking up the phone calls inputting the prize winners, you know, sending the emails scheduling the commercials for them, um recording commercials. All stuff I already did. It's all stuff I already did, but I just was not labeled as an executive producer, I was an honor personality.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's super cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, it's. My dad was like Becky, being an executive producer sounds so cool and I was like, does it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, the title sounds like huge, like what this sounds like. That show can't happen if you're not there.
Speaker 1:I mean, ideally that's the goal, and Jesse and Tati were, so I mean it was like it's not just the job. It was actually Jesse, tati, even Shelly, who was the previous producer, that really solidified the decision, because they really are super open to new ideas. They're also they also communicate very well if they don't like something, and I don't mean that in a bad way at all, I think that's a great thing, um, and they were so supportive of pushing my career further.
Speaker 1:they were it. It was just lovely and Tati and I felt like old friends and it was yeah that I wouldn't have wanted the job if it wasn't for their personalities.
Speaker 2:I think you and Tati to get together working will be something cool. Like you, you guys kind of have a similar vibe. Tati's a little more. She was, when she was here, a little more raw, like more moked out kind. But I think your guys' personalities would match and I think- she still has a pigeon accent. Yeah, she is nuts, she still does.
Speaker 1:And she's so good on the air. I was only there for a day, but watching their chemistry and how they communicated with one another, did I lose you?
Speaker 2:No, you're here.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, I'm sorry these like earbuds don't really fit in my ear, but yeah, she was really. She's so good they were. Their chemistry was on point. She's so funny. Yeah, she's very relatable. I mean, they were just on point and she took me to tacos al gordo, which was delicious and everything was very good. And I got there and everything's in Spanish and I was like Tati, I don't know what any of this says, I'll just order whatever you're ordering. And she was, yeah. Yeah, I mean, like I said it was, I wouldn't have taken the decision without getting to know them.
Speaker 2:You know, that's cool. That's going to be that's going to be cool. Is there ways for people in Hawaii to stream your guys show?
Speaker 1:Yes On the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2:OK, perfect.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, my God, I'm so sorry I'm messing this podcast up. It's all good on the iheart radio app um, you can see I already have it pulled up. You can go to star 94.1 okay and you can. You know you can listen to it like like you were if you were listening to the beat or Pop 101.9, and you can listen from 6 to 10 am our time. So, yeah, so it'll be a little early for you folks, but when you're like you know, on your way to school, or driving, you know, driving Aria off or dropping Aria off at the school.
Speaker 1:I was about to say at the airport, jesus At school, aria off. Or taking dropping aria off at the school. I was about to say at the airport, jesus at school. Um, it'll be a good time to listen, because it'll be about eight to nine am our time, so, okay, um, yeah, you can listen on the app perfect, which would be great.
Speaker 2:I won't even tell aria, I'll just put it on one time and just see how she reacts.
Speaker 1:I'm like yeah, well, in the beginning I'm not, I'm, I'm gonna be. I'm gonna tell you right now, in the beginning, I'm probably not gonna talk that much yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I might talk a bit because I'm new. So they might be like oh, this is Becky Mintz, she's new, here's where she's from, blah, blah, blah. But I probably will be a little bit more off the mic and I, I'm okay with that, I'm honestly okay with that, especially since I'm going to be a little rusty from not being on the mic for quite some time. Yeah, that I'm going to appreciate, kind of slowly getting back into it, but I miss it. Man, I'm excited, I'm stoked, I'm really excited.
Speaker 2:I'm stoked too. I feel like it's going to be a slow build, and I it's going to be a slow build, and I think the person you are will add to that chemistry. And I know, tati, you guys are going to do some good stuff, are your content? Is it going to include podcasting as well?
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Oh perfect.
Speaker 1:Something else that I'm going to be doing is producing podcasts. I have a plan to do a podcast myself.
Speaker 2:That's what I was my next question.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and something kind of like about transitioning from Hawaii to San Diego and what that's kind of been all about, what I've been up to I. It makes me feel a little full of myself, to be honest with you, but there are definitely people who are like curious to know what that transition has been like, uh, and so that's that's kind of the reason why I would produce it. And I also have friends and, um people very close to me that believe that I can I can uh spearhead a podcast on my own and believe that I have the skill to do so. So that's definitely something I'm going to do. It's very easy for my end to produce it.
Speaker 1:I'm already a producer, as is, you know. So, like, that's going to be very easy for me to do. I just need a microphone and certain sound editing software, and it's going to be like that, you know. So it's going to be super easy for me to do. It's just a matter of what am I going to talk about and how long am I going to talk about it.
Speaker 2:Do your shit that you're on the radio Do your. Do your news, do your.
Speaker 1:Hollywood yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, your Hollywood BS. Do all those segments. Don't. Don't sell yourself short of anything, because your personality is what sells, so just do your thing. There's the doggy.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:She's been on my lap this whole time. This dog cost me so much money. You have no idea. I had to take her to the ER the other day because she had bruising on her stomach. It's gone now, but she had bruising on her stomach. I took her to the ER because I was like, oh my God, it could be internal bleeding. It wasn't. I still don't know what it was, but it cost me $860.
Speaker 2:Oh shit.
Speaker 1:But I have pet insurance.
Speaker 2:So I got like a little.
Speaker 1:I mean more than half of it back. Most of it went to my deductible. How can you sit there and fall asleep while I'm talking about you being so damn? She is so expensive. I don't know if it's just like because she's like a full bread dachshund. She's like a true mini dachshund and maybe it's like the cream color, but she causes me so many trips to the vet. You always call me trips to the vet, anyway. So, um, I would love to produce a podcast and ideally, that's something that I want to do. So I'm going to say it's definitely going to happen. I just don't know what it's going to be called yet and I don't know what I'm going to really talk about yet, but there's a lot of support in my corner to do so?
Speaker 2:I'm definitely be down and supported. Yeah, and if you have guests on, I'll definitely be a guest.
Speaker 1:That would be super cool, that would be lovely we can talk about, you know, hawaii. We can talk about our friendship and, yeah, all the things that I share with you, that I shouldn't be sharing with people.
Speaker 2:But we can talk about what is oof quest.
Speaker 1:Oof quest which was a success, by the way.
Speaker 2:Congrats.
Speaker 1:It was a success, thank you very much. I finally finally bagged somebody. Thank God, god, I thought that was never going to happen for me.
Speaker 2:You got to bring them around, so the boys can approve or disapprove.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, I think you'll like him. He's really really nice. He's kind of on the dorky, quiet side. Um, by the time somebody sees this, I'll probably tell my parents. I haven't told my parents yet about him, but oh, um, yeah, I mean I'll tell them eventually where does he live?
Speaker 2:vegas oh okay, that's kind of good. Good, it's not close enough to interfere with your transition, but drivable and also, it's not something that I was like.
Speaker 1:I don't want to say that I wasn't like I hate when people say it's going to happen when you least look for it, cause it's not true. I've always kind of been looking for a relationship constantly, but I definitely did not want one while I was going through this transition. It's definitely not something that I was like oh, like yeah, I would love to get in a relationship while I'm moving across the ocean to a new like. It's not something that I was like top of mind of, so it kind of happened in a way that wasn't like um, like I wasn't really pursuing it, but it ended up working out and I think you guys will like him.
Speaker 2:Perfect, we'll be in. Vegas in two weeks.
Speaker 1:Oh, are you really For real?
Speaker 2:Yeah me and Hoppa going snowboarding.
Speaker 1:Are you guys going to Vegas? Vegas, though. Can I meet up with you guys?
Speaker 2:We'll be there for one night on Thursday.
Speaker 1:One night, okay, no, maybe not.
Speaker 2:You guys might be doing other things. Yeah, we're going to fly into Vegas and then we're going to Brian Head and then we're going to come back Thursday and then spend one night in Vegas and then back home, because we're opening our new event.
Speaker 1:Ooh, can you talk about that yet?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I guess I can. When this comes out, I'm gonna pour some wine.
Speaker 1:Okay, so can you talk about this new event situation?
Speaker 2:so our new event, we're gonna do what we are gonna call aura and it will be at the most newest club in haw, which is Eve. We're going to take over Friday nights at Eve, me Level H, which is Hanson, and Golden Child, which is Ryan. I get to work with my little brother again, because he's not 86 from this club yet. Hoppa will be our resident DJ every Friday. We're going to start on the day we get back from our snowboarding trip on the 7th Very nice, very, very nice.
Speaker 2:Have you been to Eve yet?
Speaker 1:I haven't been to Eve yet. I'm surprised he wasn't 86 from this club yet.
Speaker 2:I'm just kidding, he almost did his first night there club. Yet I'm just kidding, he almost did his first night there. We I making our deal with the owners, I had to put in our deal that hoppa was our dj because he got into it the owners on his birthday when he uh dj'd there in october.
Speaker 1:Okay, so, like you know, I've heard all these stories about Hoppe and about him getting 86 from certain clubs, and I didn't see it in real life until I saw it once, and it was about the Eagles. It was about the Eagles, which I know he's just insufferable now.
Speaker 1:But I just know he's insufferable, but I saw that and I was like this is about the Eagles. You're making this big deal about the Eagles, Are you serious? But anyway, no, no, I'm, I'm. I'm happy for you. Congratulations on Eve and I hope Friday nights are successful. I mean, I'll do what I can to promote it. I'm not going to be in Hawaii anymore, but yeah.
Speaker 2:And when you visit then you can come check us out. We were I, for me personally, I was kind of enjoying being done with it, I'm, I was kind of okay, I'm, my time is done. Promoting and. I'm cool with it and this, this opportunity came up and the ability to work with the people I want to work with one more time um with Hanson and Taylor and Ryan, but especially to have one more go at it with with that group, I think for me is what got me to want to do it one more time, and we'll see how this goes, and this will probably be our last or my last weekly event.
Speaker 2:Hanson kind of said the same thing too, but, um, I think for me as a promoter, my, my time is kind of on the back end and and I'm cool with it.
Speaker 1:I don't want to keep promoting until aria can actually get into these clubs oh, that would suck for her.
Speaker 2:but she, she would want, she would not have fun, she can drink water sit in the corner and not talk to anybody.
Speaker 1:I know, I already know I already know, I already know you would be so hovering, oh my God. You're already hovering now I already know, so are you going to make you know? My question is are you going to make Aria a part of your wedding?
Speaker 2:she actually was uh asked by sasha to be her maid of honor or matron of honor maid of honor, matron of honor, one matron is when you're married. Made okay, made of honor, yeah and she was to the moon like she was picking out her dress and like this yeah, it's, it was a thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sasha made like a little box for her and she opened it yeah, so it was yeah she's, she's stoked, and my biggest part was, uh, when I had to tell her that I was going to propose and for me, I was super nervous, so I took her to Disneyland.
Speaker 1:That's where I did it, but um by the way, whenever you come to Disneyland, please let me know, cause like I can drive there now.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, it might be in June. Um, okay, yeah. But so I I asked her and honestly, she could have 86, the whole fucking thing. If she said no, I don't want that, then well, sasha's out of luck, man, I'm not getting married. So she, it was all on her. You know what I mean. But the first thing she said when I told her I said, oh, daddy's going to propose Auntie Sasha, and she said what, that wedding is going to be the most funnest wedding ever. And I was like, okay, we're good, like, and I did it at the hotel when we were at disneyland and then that, like that, that was kind of my trip for multiple reasons.
Speaker 2:One, she was, uh, turned, she was a teenager and I had to let go of her being a little kid. It was just me and her, that trip, and I had to tell her that I was proposing. So for me that trip was very important and it was how she found out and she's been super supportive of it. And when Sasha asked her and she didn't really understand what a bridesmaid was and she kind of did her little research or whatever and like, she's like so stoked. It's kind of cool.
Speaker 1:I was my sister's maid of honor and it was so much fun, it's such an honor. I was my brother's best man, so I've been on both sides. I I've been on both. I've been a bridesmaid too as well, and it's it's so much fun, and dressing up and putting on makeup and just doing that whole process is so much fun.
Speaker 2:I didn't think she was gonna say anything differently, because it seems like her and sasha have a great relationship yeah, yeah, it was just um, I the whole thing like with when, like we're start, we're adding somebody else to our family, and yeah it was. It was just like I didn't. I thought it would go okay, but I did feel like it could have went like, oh, like she might have been a little standoffish about it, or like feeling some kind of way, but yeah, it worked out how long were you with sasha before you proposed and were you getting pressure to propose?
Speaker 2:oh yeah, I was getting pressure, and the more pressure I got, the more I pushed it back, because fucking nobody's gonna make me do something like I was. I was down to do it earlier. Then, oh, when are you gonna do it? You should do it now. I was, I was down to do it earlier than. Oh, when are you gonna do it? You should do it now. I say, okay, now you're gonna fucking make her wait because I think eight years, six years, six years, eight years, I don't know a while yeah okay but, see, I was married before.
Speaker 2:You know know what I mean. So it's like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Can I ask a personal question?
Speaker 2:Are you down to? Have more kids with Sasha, it's going to happen for sure, going to start all over again.
Speaker 1:Damn, you said that so fast yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm not a guess. Honestly, to my surprise, when I thought about it and I, I, if I could have a choice, I would want another daughter, which I didn't think when I first was having a child, I wanted a son and then I had Aria, but because of Aria I would want another daughter, I think. I would want another daughter.
Speaker 1:I think my dad has two girls. Well, he has two girls and a boy, but Lord knows that Becky Mitz is the light of dad's life. So 100%.
Speaker 2:I would bank on that. Yeah, your siblings don't have a chance.
Speaker 1:I have, like several friends who have had babies right, and one of my friends, gender reveal, was disappointed to have a girl and I told her boyfriend I think fiance now I was like bro, I am the light of my dad's life like you I was like having a daughter is the best thing ever. And then now you know the baby's one years old and they it's definitely like the light of their life and I was like I know this Having a girl is the best, so. I'm not surprised by that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was kind of surprised because I always wanted a boy and now, if I were, I would, if I had a choice, I would pick a girl.
Speaker 1:Yeah, heaven knows, the earth doesn't need another boy, thaddeus, running around. You're the most I told you. You're one of my most supportive friends.
Speaker 1:You know, you're always there, super reliable, you always include me at the Superbowl party. You invited me to the Superbowl party, which I didn't tell anybody. I was in Vegas, so I had to decline. Yeah, by the time this comes out, it's fine, but at the time I didn't tell anybody because I was like I didn't tell anybody because I knew I was going to move to San Diego and I didn't want people to be like, oh my God, you should be saving money and not going to Vegas and boyfriend, but whatever, I did it anyway.
Speaker 2:No, regrets, of course, yep, no regrets. Quest successful. Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1:It's the white wine or something. But yeah, no, I didn't know that you were, like you know, ready to have or not. Not ready, but like, open to having more kids, and I love that. I'm super excited. Well, first of all, let me just say I'm excited to MC your wedding.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's going to be the shit.
Speaker 1:Am I allowed to partake in some wine?
Speaker 2:I'll be professional. We're getting fucked up that night. Everybody's getting fucked up that night. A fattiest wedding. Everybody's getting trashed.
Speaker 1:My, my proposal I got trashed, yeah, so it's okay.
Speaker 2:It's okay for me to drink while hell yeah, I it um it was to be without saying like I, I expect you to be emceeing drunk.
Speaker 1:Yeah, don't which by the way, like I had to, I canceled all of my gigs except for yours that's the only one I did, oh yeah, one and like two gigs I didn't cancel and I I didn't cancel yours. So I mean, well, mostly because they felt like I was like I I mean I'm working, but I'm. I felt like I was an invite, like I I'm working, but I felt like I was a guest, yeah, you'd be here anyway regardless, yeah. Yeah, I felt like I was more of a guest, so I was like you would go if you were invited as a guest.
Speaker 1:So I would go if I was working as well.
Speaker 2:And you have a plus one too.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I hope you like him man Listen. I hope we make it he better, hope you like him. Man Listen, I hope we make it he better, hope we like him. I don't care if we don't like him.

Speaker 1:No, he's very like, he's very, he's very like, he's very cool. He's on the quieter side and he's on the more like reserved. He's kind of dorky a little bit, but not super dorky and not like crazy dorky. But yeah, no, um, I think I think the day of your wedding is his birthday, if I remember correctly, so hopefully he makes it Julyuly 12th.

Speaker 2:Aria is going to have a little cheering session. So many people I know live in Vegas that want to see her play too. Oh yeah. No, I'd be so down. I'd be so down. It's going to be a fun one.
Speaker 1:Definitely I'd be so down. Yeah, that's, that sounds like a lot of fun. So, yeah, okay, let's do that.
Speaker 1:I'm glad that like yeah, cause, like you know, leaving Hawaii is tough but, having a man that lives in Vegas and then living in San Diego makes it a little bit easier, because everybody wants to visit either. So it's like look, if you want to go to Vegas, I'll meet you in Vegas. It's like a double. You know what I mean. Like I get to see him, I also get to see whoever's coming to Vegas, and then a lot of people come to San Diego or even Disneyland. I think Disneyland is like maybe an hour and a half drive from San Diego.
Speaker 2:Because I drove from Anaheim to Legoland and yeah it wasn't too bad. Vegas too. Everybody will end up there Like Hoppo goes every other month. Like hell we're going in two weeks, but, yeah, I always end up there. I don't like Vegas and I end up there at least three times a year.
Speaker 1:What do you?
Speaker 2:mean you don't like Vegas, I just get into too much stupid shit and I don't like Vegas, and I end up there at least three times a year. What do you mean? You don't like Vegas, I just get into too much stupid shit and alcohol and like it's just the same. You know what I mean? To me it's like, yeah, the same, but like it's always. One of my friends is going to fight and I'm going to go watch, or then it was Hanson's bachelor party, or then sasha wanted to go to the usher concert, or then it was like okay, it was so good yeah it is so good yeah, and then I didn't go.
Speaker 2:But she went and then hoppa's brother graduated and then I'm like I get drawn back there like, oh, aria's gonna have a tournament there, they're. Oh, we're gonna go vegas for um uh, to snowboard. Like we're gonna meet in vegas and drive. I was like it's just, I'm always there.
Speaker 1:So yeah, where are you guys staying when you go this next time?
Speaker 2:um, we're gonna stay at resort world okay because hoppa's brother works there. Yeah oh okay, anybody needs a a hotel, go hit up hoppa's brother at resort world.
Speaker 1:He'll take care yeah, I'm gonna take your word for that. I feel like I'm friends, I'm I'm enough, I'm close enough with taylor that I can, oh for sure 100.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and his brother will um set you up. His brother is like get building a reputation and and working his way up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, cool, yeah, I'm gonna take your word for that Poor.
Speaker 2:Taylor, but I think Taylor's coming on.
Speaker 1:I think Taylor's coming to my going away party, at least for a little bit, so yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that'll be.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. I invited Jordan as well.
Speaker 2:Jordan.
Speaker 1:No, what's his name? Shoot, is it not Jordan? Jordan, is that his name? No, what's his name? Shoot, is it not Jordan? Hold on From where? No, he's one of your friends.
Speaker 2:Oh, big Jordan. Yes, one of Aria's coaches.
Speaker 1:No. Yes, is he one of Aria's coaches?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know you guys are friends.
Speaker 1:The reason we became friends is because I spilt so much at Friendsgiving that he ended up being one of the people that just heard all this bullshit that I had to say.
Speaker 2:Oh, that Jordan Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, how?
Speaker 2:do you know Jordan?
Speaker 1:Yeah no, he came to Friendsgiving.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 1:And he kind of just like got like emotionally dumped by me.
Speaker 2:Like I just dumped a bunch of like a bunch of shit that was up well, mostly because at friendsgiving I was so drunk which I was so embarrassed by but I was I was so drunk, just sharing way too much information that was a random night in so many different ways, like I have a picture that I cannot explain and I could not have predicted would have happened. And it was on the bed with three people.
Speaker 1:That was was I there yes, you were part of the picture I remember now what's a bed with three girls.
Speaker 2:That's a lot of men's fantasy yeah, but who the girls were on that bed? It was just like, oh shit, this is fucking different. I didn't expect that to happen for certain people to show up.
Speaker 1:I didn't expect certain people to show up.
Speaker 2:I didn't expect certain people to show up that day is that person back in hawaii? Um was and then moved back, or she, she moved, she's moving. Okay, she just had to come back for uh to get her stuff. I guess, I don't know yeah oh yeah, I frick, I know all about that, I got so much shit, yeah, so get back to your story like, since you figured out you're gonna move, what were the, what was the process of, what was gonna happen next? What happened next?
Speaker 1:so, luckily, this condo is owned by my parents and I, so we can rent this out. Yeah, so it's not too bad. It's not like I had to break a lease or anything, so a lot of this stuff is going to stay here. It's up to my parents what they want to do with it, if they want to get rid of stuff, if they want to redo stuff in this apartment, it's up to them.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's perfect, yeah.
Speaker 1:So in terms of like, oh, you got to make sure it's like clean, get your deposit back, I don't have to worry about any of that. Nice, yeah, so that's been great. I did find an apartment in San Diego, which is awesome. It has a basketball court, which, if you know anything about me, I love basketball, so I'm definitely going to be taking advantage of that. It's pet friendly. Yeah, it's pet friendly. Um, yeah, so right now I've just been kind of like deciding what I want to take with me immediately, and then there's some other stuff that I'm like maybe I'll take it with me later on, so here I can show you, but like, okay, so I have like, this box is going to go in storage for now, and then I have all these boxes over here that maybe I'll take with me.
Speaker 1:That's a donation box right here. Uh, this suitcase I'm taking with me, um, and yeah, just kind of just figuring out what I'm gonna do and what I'm gonna take and all that fun stuff. And it's been stressful, that is super stressful. I have to deal with shipping my car, so I have to you know I'm shipping my car.
Speaker 1:There's so much paperwork involved with shipping your car. And then when I called to schedule my appointment, they were like we can't do the day that you have to do so. My brother is going to drop off the car. And then I had to get a form to make sure my brother could drop off the car. It's just been, it's been a lot. It's been a lot, it's been a lot. How long does it take to get there? It's gonna take a while, at least a couple of weeks. So, okay, hopefully I figure out some sort of solution in terms of getting to work and back. So we get there on the 27th in the morning, we move in on the 27th.
Speaker 1:So, like the timing worked out perfectly, um, I move in on the 27th, so like the timing worked out perfectly, um and moving on the 27th, so I'll probably just, you know, bring all the suitcases over there, all my clothes, and then we'll probably go furniture shopping is my guess yeah um, and then my parents leave. On the fourth okay, my first day is on the third girls day okay, nice yeah, how did you?
Speaker 2:find the apartment. Have you like physically been in it or you just I?
Speaker 1:haven't, which is a risk, bro, it's a fucking risk. But I had to do what I had to do, like I knew I had to move fast. I consulted with quite a few people I know who have lived in san diego, are from san diego, currently living in San Diego. I have several people I know and they kind of told me the areas to avoid. I have a cousin that lives in San Diego. I have a couple of cousins, so I have a cousin that lives like close to San Diego I think he's like an hour away and then I have another cousin that lives in San Diego and they kind of like helped me with certain areas that I should avoid. I did a lot of research on where to live and read a lot of Yelp reviews, google reviews, apartmentcom reviews. Yeah, I did a lot of research. So I'm going to be living downtown, I'll leave it at that so nobody stalks me.
Speaker 1:But you know, it's so funny. You say that is my dad texted me the other day. He goes oh, oh, can you call so? And so he knows law enforcement in san diego. I was like dad, I'm 30, I'm 30, dad, I don't need that, I'm not going back to college, I'm a full grown adult like I. But he's like can you just call them because they know law enforcement in san diego? And so I called this gentleman. I don't even know what he does for a living. I have no idea he could be. He could be a goon for all I know. I have no idea, but he could be the one stalking you he was like oh, I know several people in san diego.
Speaker 1:Like we're gonna, you know, since your parents are gonna be up there, we're gonna set up a meeting with them. I'm like, oh, my god, like I don't need any of this shit, but I haven't told my dad that I have a boyfriend. So, like I I think if I somebody was telling me, you should tell him, so he feels more like secure, like yeah, you're, especially since he's like yeah, especially since he's like six, two muscular, half black, half white, like I like it's.
Speaker 1:He's gonna be a bit more of a protector than some of these other men I've dated in the past, lord some dj, dj never mind, listen, listen, it's been, it's been fine, it's been fine. I don't regret any of my past decisions, but I think he'll feel a little more secure. Knowing that there's somebody who's like a bit more of a protector than anybody that I've dated gonna make him feel a little bit better, even though he doesn't live in San Diego, like still, I think it'll make him feel, yeah, I think a lot of like, a lot of.
Speaker 1:The reason why my dad feels the way that, or treats me the way that he does, is because he feels like I'm all alone and I'm not yeah and not just in a relationship aspect, but in a friendship aspect, like I could call you, I could call Chris, you know I. There's so many people I could call at the drop of a dime. Who, would, you know, support me?
Speaker 2:so.
Speaker 1:I'm not.
Speaker 2:I'm not truly alone you know what I mean. Yeah, and it's a five hour flight. It's not like you're in New York and shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, and they do a lot of direct uh, direct flights to san diego. So yeah, it'll, it'll. I hope you visit, oh for sure yeah okay, good yeah I mean, I don't know anything about lego land, but yeah, but I mean, oh my god niners will play Chargers eventually.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's in LA though, that's right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I mean, I could still make the drive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I can still make the drive, let me see, I know Hanson likes San Diego.
Speaker 2:He got some connections there too.
Speaker 1:Oh does he. Yeah, I love Hanson.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then. So you're going to move your car, you got your apartment, you got your job.
Speaker 1:Um, what I wanted to two hour drive to SoFi stadium. I would do it for you.
Speaker 2:All right, it's not bad to wear red, though.
Speaker 1:I'll do it.
Speaker 2:I'll do it. But if anything I'll fly Well, guarantee If you go to.
Speaker 1:San Francisco, I'll fly.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, I guarantee you're going to do that, but I wanted to go to SoFi and Niners will play there every single year because we play the Rams twice because they're in our division. So one is in San Francisco, one will be at SoFi every, every single year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, so whichever one you do like I would love to make that perfect. Yeah, it's way cheaper, it's way cheaper than it is to fly like from hawaii. So I would. It would be you know easy, easy for me anyway. What were you saying?
Speaker 2:I'm sorry um other than like friends and family and all that kind of stuff. What will be the three things that you're gonna miss from living in hawaii?
Speaker 1:zippies and that's not sponsored, I'll miss zippies a lot, don't they have zippies a lot oh, it was in vegas.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, so when I visit my. When I visit my boyfriend, I can go to Vegas, but okay, that's the first time I heard you say that it's official.
Speaker 1:All right. Somebody actually bagged me. Um, no, yeah, so when I go to Vegas I'll go, for sure. I'm hoping they still keep me on as an ambassador.
Speaker 2:Cause maybe I can be.
Speaker 1:I can be a Vegas ambassador, yeah.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:You were there when they opened, right, I was, and they're opening another location, so I would love to be a Vegas ambassador. If anybody's watching, all right. That's a true, genuine statement. I'll miss Zippy's Friends and family is the toughest part. I'll miss the culture as well. You know I I don't sound like a local girl, but I but I am one yeah.
Speaker 1:I am one at heart and in my soul, so I will miss that aspect of kind of like. You know, just like like Hawaii, people are so different from any other culture, like I went to college in Portland, it's so different from anywhere else. So I'm going to miss that kind of environment. I'm going to miss knowing where everything is.
Speaker 1:Diego, I'm going to have to map everything out. So I think that's going to be the three main things that I'll miss the most. But I mean, number one is family, and friends is number one by far. No-transcript. I was like starting to cry thinking about it, like and.
Speaker 1:I'm going to be, you know I cause he right now he only lives like five minutes down the road for me, and even my sister too, only like seven minutes down the road. So, like, that's going to be really hard. Leaving my parents is going to be really hard, like especially, I mean my mom's going to miss me, but leaving my dad is going to be really hard. That's going to be really hard for me. But they, when I did that interview in San Diego, I called all of them, I called my brother, I called my sister, I called my dad, I called my mother, all separately and they all said amongst the same thing of that we support you, we know this is your passion, we know this is what's in your heart and we support you. We know this is your passion, we know this is what's in your heart and we love you. But my dad especially, like mostly because he financially provides, but but I, you know, like I guess because I have so much respect for him and so much love for him say like really makes an effect on me and he was kind of like the determining factor of him being like we love you, like we'll support you, we're gonna take care of you no matter what, and not really like.
Speaker 1:I would not and you'll hear this at the goodbye party, you'll hear this at the at the going away party but I would not be able to do it without him. Like I mean both my, both my parents, both of my parents, but especially my dad. I would not be able to do it without him. Like I mean both my, both my parents, both of my parents, but especially my dad. I would not be able to do it without him. I I would not if he did not say I'm gonna support you. I would not be able to do it. There's no way.
Speaker 2:And so I have a lot of gratitude and you'll get this, because I know you'll do the same for aria oh, yeah, yeah, like what you just said yeah when you just said, like your parents, like your dad's going up there because you're moving, like you were being in college, I was like fuck, I'd be, just I'd be doing the same thing. If aria is moving to the mainland, I'm definitely going to help her. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Like yeah yeah, yeah, I'm gonna have to prep for that. I was just telling her today, today, because I make her breakfast every morning and she's like Dad, if you want to sleep in a little bit more, I can just get breakfast at school and I'm like no way.
Speaker 2:I have three more years to make you breakfast every morning and after that three years you're going to go to college and I'm going gonna want to make breakfast for you every morning and you won't be here. So I don't give a shit if I gotta wake up two hours early like I'm down to do it, like those moments are priceless for me and it's something that she's gonna remember forever, like every time she has breakfast, she's gonna remember I made it for every, every morning, and yeah, oh yeah, but it was that she was trying to get me more sleep, but yeah, I don't care about that.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Like I remember my grandpa making breakfast for me when I was in elementary school. Be at a sausage. She's made me French toast, regular toast. What else would he make? Sometimes I would eat Cheerios. I remember all of those moments with my grandpa. And then I remember those moments with my dad as well of my dad. My dad didn't necessarily have the time to make breakfast, but he would take me in the morning, so it would alternate between mcdonald's breakfast or a coffee bean and tea leaf breakfast oh yeah, he used to get me yeah, he used to get me a cinnamon raisin bagel with double strawberry cream cheese.
Speaker 1:See what I mean. Like I'll never forget it yeah, but also like everyone who knows me knows my dad spoils me a little more than everybody else. But to be fair, I'm his baby. I'm his baby, like my brother was telling me. He was like Beck dad is gonna miss you me. He was like Beck dad is going to miss you a lot.
Speaker 2:He was like, like. I don't.
Speaker 1:I mean, he has my sister, I think, because my sister's here and she's established a life here, he doesn't really have to like think about that. But I've always expressed and you know this too, you, you've told me this that I'm meant for something bigger than Hawaii, like a hundred percent yeah. So they 100%. Yeah, so they, you know, they known that too. So he is known. You're meant for bigger than this, like you've always meant to be growing into a bigger space. And so he knew. He knew that was inevitable.
Speaker 2:And so.
Speaker 1:I mean it's going to be hard, it's going to be hard, it's going to be hard. Well, I didn't cry at college because I always knew I was coming back yeah yeah is like am I ever coming back? You know what my brother said when I told my brother about my boyfriend that lives in vegas? My brother goes fuck, you're never coming back yeah, vegas, yeah, I was like look never, say never.
Speaker 1:But in the line of work, like okay, and I, I'm going to say it like this I don't get into a relationship unless I think long-term.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I just don't think you should Like, if you don't think long-term with the person that you're in a relationship with, you shouldn't be in a relationship with them in general. So when I'm thinking long-term, like in the line of work that he does, it would be very hard to do that in hawaii. And then the same thing with me, for that matter, being on a morning show in hawaii is kind of like the highest you can go besides being a program director. Maybe it'll happen, maybe it won't. Yeah, so like even for me that I I kind of went the highest that I could go.
Speaker 2:So yeah, but it's talking to jimmy the geek. He left and he came back for radio and like he's running the show that he used to listen to in the morning, going to school with the same dude that I used to listen to.
Speaker 1:Yeah jimmy is a champ I love jimmy the geek.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I loved everybody that I worked with.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah I loved everybody that I worked with.
Speaker 2:How was that um podcast, by the way it was fun I I was a fan of him from when we were, when I was young local boys yeah, yeah race, race baby on here huh you should have ryan on here I will. Yeah, I want to. I I don't know him personally, I don't think.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I met him a couple times, yeah I think he would be so down to do it.
Speaker 2:He's so funny and ryan is another one that I mean, they've both been supportive.
Speaker 1:they've both been supportive of me in my career, but Ryan especially when it comes to my creative endeavors, he's always been super supportive.
Speaker 2:What are they doing now?
Speaker 1:Ryan is doing stocks and he's still doing trading and stuff like that. Sam is doing some sort of audio-visual thing. I'm not 100% sure, but they're both doing well. They were both super supportive of my decision and I told them Before it was announced To everybody else. Actually, I told quite a few people Before it was announced.
Speaker 2:I know, when you came out with the video Announcing like I'm moving to San Diego, I'm like, didn't you fucking tell me that Like a month ago? Oh, she didn't tell everybody, she didn't put it out there you know why?
Speaker 1:because I, I like I don't want to sound like an asshole, but there are a few people that I might have like forgotten to invite to the going away party or something you know what I mean like, and I just wanted to make sure that anybody who I wanted to say goodbye to knew with enough time so, yeah, no, it was. I had to make that video and it took me 45 minutes to make that two minute video.
Speaker 2:By the way, got to do it right, though you have to do it right. It was perfect, though yeah, I'm glad.
Speaker 1:I'm glad my mom said she liked it.
Speaker 2:So and what you said, even when you made the sad video. It's you're getting Becky Mix, You're not getting the showman or the representative.
Speaker 1:You're getting the real Becky Mix. Somebody gave me really good advice, somebody who was in the radio industry, and he said you don't have to tell them everything, but you can be. You can still be honest about some things and so, like, for example, my relationship. I'm going to keep that as private as I can, but I still I'm comfortable enough sharing that I'm in one, if that makes sense yeah, yeah like it's not something I want to post about.
Speaker 1:You know why? Because I feel like sometimes relationships on social media, especially for someone who's a content creator like me, can kind of get lost in translation and it can kind of like it can kind of turn into a like, a showmanship, like, oh I'm I like I can get kind of flat. I just I really like care about this, so I want to make sure that I take care of it more than I do want to post it on social media. I think in previous relationships I've been like okay, I want to show people that I'm not single, I want to show people that I have a boyfriend, I want to show people that I'm wanted. And now I'm like I'm secure enough where I'm like I know that I'm wanted. And now I'm like I'm secure enough where I'm like I know that that's happening for me, so I don't feel the need to have to prove it to anybody else.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, that's right, yeah, right. But at the same time, I've always been about transparency. I've always been about being open and when it came to I'm going to tell you why I made the videos that I did. I cannot stand when people will post super ambiguous announcements and then everybody is like asking oh, what happened, I wonder. I'm going to give you an example. I will call out Sam and Ryan for this. I'll tell them this to their face. I will call out Sam and Ryan for this. I'll tell them this to their face. Their post about them leaving the radio station was so ambiguous. Everybody and their mom called me. What happened to Sam and Ryan?
Speaker 1:I was getting calls on the air. What happened to them, can you tell us? And I was like that's none of my business. What they decide to say, that's none of my business. It's their business. And after that situation I was like I'm just going to tell people straight up what the fuck is happening. Like here's what's happening. I got my goal.
Speaker 2:That's what's happening.
Speaker 1:Then you didn't have to worry about answering all that shit.
Speaker 2:Just watch the video again if you don't understand.
Speaker 1:Exactly, and it does feel a little bit like an asshole of being like, oh, like, what makes you think that people care about what you're doing?
Speaker 2:But no, people don't care People wouldn't, follow you.
Speaker 2:People wouldn't follow you if they didn't, or they wouldn't be fans of you if they didn't Like fans from your work that you were doing. You created fans. People love to listen to you. So people connected to you every single morning and you became part of their life, their morning ritual, their drive to work, their start of the day. So when something gets changed, they're like connected to, they're gonna want to know. Yeah, and you have fans. That that's just the, that's just the bottom line. You have fans, so because of that, they're gonna want to know it. So it's not like you're conceited to think like, oh, people want to know what I'm doing. Yes, they fucking do. So you gotta tell them, because you created a situation where you have fans and fans are going to want to know who's, what's happening to the people that they're fans of. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, Fans feels like, oh man, it's always made me. The term fans has always made me feel uncomfortable. Well, friends, Friends, which is why I always use the term friends and I always use the term your friend becky mitts, because I never feel like I'm above you. I feel like I'm your, I'm your colleague, I'm your person.
Speaker 2:Okay that makes sense. Yeah, there are people who I'm like you're not my friend yeah, you probably got a bunch of them not a bunch, not a bunch.
Speaker 1:But there are people who I'm like we're not friends but, um, for the most part, like a listener who listens to the show. I don't think of you as a fan. I think of you as a friend, because you have to be a friend to be supporting me in that way. Yeah, so like that's how I've always felt. I've always like I've never felt like you're a fan, like I just I just never felt that way. I'm I'm always like, genuinely so grateful for people who do listen and people who do watch, and the video that I posted. It was like it was a great way for me to answer a ton of questions at once yeah, because they were going to figure out like why are you living in San Diego?
Speaker 1:like what are you doing, what you're doing? So it was a great way for me to kind of answer all those questions at once. I'm going to tell you right now I'm leaving crave, I'm telling you when I'm leaving crave and I'm telling you why I'm leaving crave and what's happening and where I'm going. Like I'm not about to be ambiguous, ambiguous about the whole situation and plus now.
Speaker 2:Now, if people ask you, you can just send them the link to that video I mean I've done that before.
Speaker 1:When people have asked me about sam and ryan, they've been like, oh, what happened with sam and ryan? And I'm like I just sent him the link. I'm like listen, it's really none of my business to tell you, like, what's happening with them.
Speaker 1:Or oh, I'm sorry god I'm so sorry, that's what happens when I'm carrying a dog at the same time. Yeah, so like, even when it came to sam and ryan, I was like uh, you can ask them yourself because, uh, it's none of my, it's really not my business to share it's yeah, for sure yeah, it's not my business to share like it's their business about what they want to say because, from what I understood, when they got let go they didn't want to tell people they got let go.
Speaker 1:They kind of wanted to keep it like ambiguous in terms of maybe we left on our own terms maybe we got let go yeah, and so they kind of wanted to keep that ambiguous and so I wanted to make sure that they had the I hope they cut that out, cause my outfit from the bottom down is not great the I respected, like I respected their decision of how they wanted to tell people. So when people would call me, I would just say, like, go to their posts, ask them yourself, cause it's really none of my business. But when it came to me, you can. You can ask me anything you want. Want. Now, what I, what I answer with or don't answer with, is kind of up to me.
Speaker 1:yeah same thing with them you know, yeah um, so that's why my videos are so transparent and they're so open is because I just, I just rather not deal with the questions. But I also don't want you to think that I think I'm so like, oh like people want to know all this about me.
Speaker 2:It's just like I'd just rather answer all the questions right here, right now, and get it over with but you know, like I said, people do want to know and that's that that shows, and I am excited to see how your career takes off and how you handle this new job and what heights you're gonna reach. And I think this is still another stepping stone. It is saying your end goal yeah.
Speaker 1:We'll see. You know how. I'll do my best you know how I'll do my best.
Speaker 2:And I think you're to have a lot of fun. You're going to experience a whole new lifestyle. It takes a lot of guts to bet on yourself and move your whole life to chase after your dream, and a lot of people don't have that strength. So props to you, because it ain't easy and, like you're, you're moving, you're doing all this for for your dream and fuck, that's fucking cool, like that's super cool, and a lot of people can't and a lot of people won't and a lot of people aren't strong enough to and that's never been your, your flaw, you know, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:My dad told me this I've been telling a lot of people this, which is the truth, but my dad told me this, which is number one I'm I mean I'm single, like where I'm not married, I don't have children and I don't really you know what I mean Like I don't really have like anybody that I have to like move with me to San Diego. Two my dad told me this Beck, if you never take a chance now, you'll never take a chance ever again in your life.
Speaker 2:You're still young.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's like you're still young. You know you still got all this time. You don't want to not take this chance and then, 10 years from now, be like I should have. What would happen to my life if I did take that chance? He's like you don't want to think that.
Speaker 1:Yeah so it was just everything worked out the way it did and I I it was going to sound crazy, but I knew it was going to like. I knew my life was going to change. I knew it was. I just didn't know how it was going to change.
Speaker 2:I knew it was, I just didn't know how it was going to change, but I knew it was yeah, and I knew it too, and I knew, like I knew that something good was gonna come from all this, and but you always told me, like you know in, in conversations over the phone and in person, you've always said like I think you're meant for something more than hawaii, bigger than hawaii.
Speaker 1:Like I believe, like you've all.
Speaker 2:You've always said that so I said that to Taylor too, so he got to get the fuck out of here too he will. He will with time, with time yep, but yeah, I'm I'm interested to see the the um levels you reach and yeah, it'll be cool. Hawaii is always home and Aloha you can always bring, so it'll be cool and we're all Coming home.
Speaker 1:Obviously I'll keep coming home. Whenever you're in Vegas or in Anaheim, I'll be there.
Speaker 2:For sure, and yeah, it'll be cool and I think, yeah, you're gonna appreciate Hawaii more, course, when you're not, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1:Every time I was in the mainland, like living there. When I was in college, when I was doing the Disney college program, I always like missed or I missed home. To a certain extent, I missed home. To a certain extent, I always represented home.
Speaker 2:Even the stuff that I packed.
Speaker 1:I was like okay, I want to pack things that remind me of home.
Speaker 2:Speaking of packing, how are you bringing all those boxes? Are you going to put?
Speaker 1:it in a container. For the most part, I'm going to be taking suitcases. In terms of these boxes, I'm probably just going to ask my parents to ship it. Okay, to be honest, um, but it's not a rush. All I, all these items I packed in boxes are not rush like, for example, this box right here is not a rush okay my backpack is in there just because it was on my chair originally, but this is a rush.
Speaker 1:So all the clothes that are in there is not a rush, it's like I want them, I want to take them with me, but it's not a rush to like have them with me immediately. So everything that I've been packing in my suitcases is like things that I want immediately, that I want in my apartment right away, and I already set aside like clothes and items to put in my carry on because I'm going to have to take my dogs with me. So I have like a. I'll show you, hang on, I have two dog carriers because I have two dogs and I'm getting I'm getting them used to this. Oh my God, why is this?
Speaker 1:on my ear, I have this purple one here. Ok, I have this purple one here, oh, okay, and I have this pink one here Getting them ready, for that's going to be my personal item or my mom's personal item, oh nice, and then I'm going to take a carry-on with me. So the night that I get in or the day that I get in, it's going to be an Airbnb, and then I move in that the day that I get in it's going to be an airbnb and then I move in that same day.
Speaker 1:So, like, probably later on in the day we'll grab the keys and then we'll kind of go from there, but I'm not gonna have a bed right away, so like, oh yeah just stay in the airbnb for it, like all I need is a bed. To be honest, all I need is a bed. Everything else can come with time. The couch, every everything else can come with time. I just need a bed to sleep at least they have ikea in the mainland. They don't have that shit here I know that's exactly where we're going. We're going to ikea yeah, get the meatballs that's where we went for college too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, totally just uh, my advice for you is label all those boxes, what's in it, because I've moved multiple times and I realized that was the biggest help. That's a big help, like write down, like living room shit kitchen shit.
Speaker 1:Shout out to Goodwill. Goodwill is getting half of my stuff. So shout out to Goodwill, you're getting half of my stuff.
Speaker 2:Well, I know you got to get back to your packing and we've been going for an hour and a half and I probably could talk to you for another two more hours and I know it's gonna be. For me personally it's gonna suck that you're not here, but it'll be a phone call away. I'll be in the mainland multiple times, you'll be back here multiple times and you gotta.
Speaker 1:I'm back for your wedding. I will see you in April, like you're going to be at my going away party. There's going to be a lot of times.
Speaker 2:You're going to see me and you got to come to our new event once you come back here, that's for sure.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, definitely.
Speaker 2:But, yeah, you'll, you'll be missed by a lot of us and, um, it's always good to know, like prior, like maybe I don't see you as much, but at least I know I could. You know what I mean.
