Speaker 1:All right, here we are. Here we are, the 200th episode. What an amazing celebration I am so excited for tonight. I can't believe that I've been doing this for 200 episodes. I want to thank everybody for supporting the show. For the sponsors we have Comfort Pro as a sponsor here. We have First Response Contracting, and the first guest on the 200th episode is going to be the guest that was on here first Yippee, justin Perrella. How are you doing, man?
Speaker 2:I'm good man, Congratulations.
Speaker 1:So you do know you were the ultimate guinea pig, yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, and actually um, the first time we came on, I think together it was just radio, right it was just on, just audio just audio and, uh, people couldn't see really what we were doing. But I'll never forget the first time I came in, because I actually brought a little prop here, because this is what I was wearing, ladies and gentlemen, something similar.
Speaker 1:This is so true, it was a princess headphone.
Speaker 2:It was From his daughters, from Frozen.
Speaker 1:That's right, it was from Frozen and what's really funny about that? I didn't have a second headphone set. So I went into my daughter's room and found this headset and I was like you know, this will work, this will work Until it went on.
Speaker 2:Hey, maybe I'll bring those back, you don't know there you go man, I might bring them back I can't give them to either of my neighbors.
Speaker 1:Well, it's funny, I still have those somewhere around here, I think they're in the studio, have brought them out for you to wear. Maybe I'll get somebody else to wear those tonight. So you know what's funny, I think about this, which is pretty interesting, is that you got a call from me. This is during covet, by the way, the first show was april 13th 2020. That was the very first show, and I called you and I'm like uh justin, you know, I just bought this uh, this podcast stuff. Would you willing? Would you be willing to be the first, first uh guest? And he like, yeah, no problem. Anyway, it's funny. What the hell else are you going to do it?
Speaker 2:was COVID. Nothing Like really I was happy to get out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're like, let me do something, you know, so that was just audio, it was on the phone, oh, that's right. And then, when I actually was able to do face-to-face, that it's so much different with this right here, oh, my gosh, so much different. And uh, and I just want to say, you know, thanks for for taking a chance on, on this, uh, on the show and, and you also, you, you also are a lender. You were on here as a lender. Uh, you're a guest. Many times.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we, um, we had, we had it going changing. Then, yeah, you know, and I feel like we're we're coming out of that rut. Yeah, you know, yeah, and we're starting to pick up some momentum. So it's been good. But, yeah, I was so happy to do it. We had been friends for a long time. Yeah, but when you called, I was I was looking for something that was cool like that, and you, you provided it. It was. It was wonderful. I'm so happy for you, man.
Speaker 1:I can't believe it's 200 episodes. Right, it is insane. I knew you would do it.
Speaker 2:I knew you would catch that momentum, but to this level that's impressive, man.
Speaker 1:Congratulations. Thank you, I appreciate it. So I asked everybody to have a question for me because I'm in the hot seat tonight. A little bit on this whole thing.
Speaker 2:So do you have a estate in you or the brad weisman show?
Speaker 1:that's right, you were on the brad weisman or the real estate news show first, just real estate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Where's brad going, where's?
Speaker 1:you know, it's funny. Somebody just asked that. They've asked that a couple times it's as far as I can go. Yeah, you know, uh. Wayne dyer said one time if you ask a tree how tall will it grow, and the tree will say if the tree could talk, of course, the tree will say as high as I can. Wow, there's no distance, there's no level there, there's no, there's no plateau. It's it's to go as far as you can. I really enjoy doing this. Uh, it's something that brings out the entertainment side of me that I've always had near Uh and it. I just love it. I love talking to people. I also said the other day what's interesting too is they said well, how do you know who you want to talk to? And I said you know what it's like going into a bar? Like I wish I could go into a bar, which I can, uh, but I wish. I bricklayer, I'm a, I work for NASA. I work because I'm the kind of person that goes. You know what?
Speaker 8:I want to talk to that person.
Speaker 2:I want to know everybody.
Speaker 1:I want to know everybody and what they do, and that's why I changed it to the Brad Wiseman show.
Speaker 2:And that's what I love about it, that you evolved into that, because there are some and listen. Everything comes down to real estate. I mean of course you know there's say it. I mean, of course, you know there's there's commonality in all of that. But yeah, you're, you're interested in them and you want to know more about what they do and what makes them tick and what makes them successful, which is what helps everybody else that you're interviewing Absolutely Well.
Speaker 1:You know what. We're going to kick you out. No, yeah, we got a bunch of guests tonight, just so you know. We have a ton of guests. The next guest coming up is Eric Weeknett. He's now our sheriff. You're going to have to let him sit there, all right.
Speaker 2:So you'll have to get up. Thanks, guys.
Speaker 1:You know, I don't think Justin wants to leave. I can see how this works. By the way. We got a great shot of somebody's butt right now, but no, there is a camera that's on the staging area for the show and right now they it is live on on that staging area. I see that kevin timishanko finally showed up, which is good. Okay, eric, weak necked, how you doing, buddy?
Speaker 6:I'm doing really good, how you doing. I'm doing great man doing really well.
Speaker 1:That's awesome so thanks for coming. Yeah, thanks, man. 200 episodes, that's amazing. You were on one or two at least one.
Speaker 6:I was on one, uh, the beginning of the year. Yeah, and I was on one of your older shows way back when you were in a different building yes you didn't have much of a view. Yep, looked out at some grass bank or something yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Oh, that was a long time ago. Wow, that was on the. That was on the show called how you show up. How you show up. Yeah, you're exactly right. You, I forgot you're on there. So you, you're the sheriff of the county. I am, but not for long.
Speaker 6:Hopefully not for long.
Speaker 1:Hopefully not for long. No, now that doesn't sound right, you don't, no?
Speaker 6:What are you doing right now? Tell us what you're doing. Get a little closer to the microphone so we can hear you better. I'm actually in the state rep race for the 5th Legislative District of Pennsylvania Awesome. And I'm up on the election November 5th Awesome.
Speaker 2:Really looking forward to it yeah.
Speaker 6:Big district. It goes from Bethel all the way over to Wummelsdorf, all the Heidelbergs, Honolani, Byrne Township.
Speaker 1:Wow, it is a big district, it is huge.
Speaker 6:But not as big as the County of Berks.
Speaker 1:No, not as big as that, that's right.
Speaker 6:So you actually you cover more area right now and it's going to cut down a little bit, but the downside is you have to run every two years.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that you're going to have to run every two years as sheriff, you're every four, every four. Okay, that's a lot, that's a lot, that's a lot of running, because as soon as you win, you're back in again trying to win. Basically, yeah, work a year campaigning.
Speaker 6:You're working your campaign. I'm really looking forward to it. I really love the election process. You get out, you get to meet people you you know, ask for their vote. You get to hear what their concerns are, and I actually love it. People do have a little weird because of that.
Speaker 1:Well, you are definitely a little weird because of that Cause most people are like get me the hell out of politics. You know, especially right now, with as tensions as it is nobody wants to talk about politics, but you're here actually too, because you're a good friend and that's that's the reason that you're here and also a client.
Speaker 6:I sold you a house or two or something like that, a couple of houses.
Speaker 1:I think we, you, you sold one for us yeah, and then we bought yeah, absolutely Really cool, very cool.
Speaker 6:But I hate to tell you this. My wife said we are never moving again. Ah, damn it.
Speaker 1:That's not the words you know my kids have to go to college.
Speaker 6:You know right, I know what the hell I'm trying oh my god she's very happy with the last house that you sold us oh, that's a nice house, really nice.
Speaker 1:Once you get a pool, you're not gonna, you're not selling, absolutely it's amazing yeah, I clean it, I don't use it.
Speaker 6:Do you have any questions for me? I have a question for you. Yeah, are you upset that your son is more tech savvy than you are because he got the TVs working in there? You're kidding me. No, it's all on, everyone's watching.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's hilarious. Carson did that, absolutely. Wow Well we're going to have him on later so he can explain to us how we did that.
Speaker 6:Well, you won't understand. He told me I didn't understand. You know what's?
Speaker 1:really funny. Craig Stonehall is coming on next, so the IT guy must've been training my son.
Speaker 6:Maybe or maybe your son can give him some lessons.
Speaker 1:That could be good, that could be good. I don't know, we'll see. We'll see. Well, craig should be coming in here soon, so thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 6:I really appreciate it, yeah, and I.

Um, he should be on his way to guys with the same haircut, or lack thereof. What's up, craig? Craig comes in with wine in his hand. Look at this. That's the way to do it. That's the way to do it.
Speaker 9:You got to start somewhere if you want to be a true drunk.

Speaker 1:Isn't it funny how many episodes we did 80, 80,. You know that's 87 way, way over the norm. I was told by um Justin Shank, who has done a gazillion uh podcasts, he was invited to come. He couldn't make it tonight, um, but he said to me that if you go over seven, you're actually, if you go over seven podcasts you're actually doing really well. He said, if you get over a hundred, then then you're pretty much in the realm that you should be able to keep getting more and more listeners.
Speaker 9:Well, and that's why Gary Vee said a hundred, because he said it's a hundred, that's the spot. That's the spot, and you're going to make it Yep, absolutely, absolutely. No, I got to the point where I was like I don't know why I'm still doing this you know, and I I've been Then.
Speaker 1:Then you sit there and go well, why not? You know, for me it was, it was a why not? Plus, you know, hugo, begged me to keep doing it, you know, as would have. Is that true, hugo? No he wishes I would quit tomorrow. Actually he's like yeah, 200th episode, we're done. Yeah, okay, we're done.
Speaker 9:No, my problem is it's your fault. I discovered flying.
Speaker 1:You just start with that. A good thing to do a little bit more dangerous than podcasting only so much time in the day.
Speaker 9:That's right, so true nice well, thanks for coming out.
Speaker 1:Do you have anything you want to ask me?
Speaker 9:yeah, what? When are you going to bring back the flock of seagull? Haircut the fuck I want to see no when?

Yeah, it would be. You know, the problem is I'd have to do hair plug for men Do it. Yeah, that's, that's what I'm gonna have to do.

And did you notice all the money that I have now? Now you're gonna go, you're gonna want to be your own podcast. Now you see all this money hanging out right, that's the way how you doing. You gotta get up, right up on that microphone there how about that?
Speaker 1:so I've known michelle for a very, very, very, very long time 30 years, something like that, probably.
Speaker 1:At least, at least it's been a long time. Yeah, so I actually sang at her wedding a long time ago. We've been working together many times throughout the years and just a good friend. We did together many times throughout the years and, um, just a good friend. We did a sailing trip with a bunch of friends together in the british virgin islands, which was fun. A lot of history here, a lot of history, um.
Speaker 1:But what I want to talk to you about is you have you've been doing business for a long time and I just want to quickly say that that you do such a great job, like you are on top of your game always in this business for the past 37, 37 years in, and that's hard to do. And I want to also say that now you're doing this thing which I had you on. I want to have you come back. It's called Beyond the Script and we did a show for that, which everybody should find it. It's a really good show. Are you going to be doing more of that, like more of the coming up with, like classes and coaching? I have them.
Speaker 10:I have the curriculums and stuff like that. I guess I haven't really tried to figure out how to market it and to put myself in a position where that becomes more forefront.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah Got it Got it.
Speaker 10:I haven't done it. Yeah, I have the curriculums written and done, but trying to figure out how to do it, how to really do it, do it right.
Speaker 1:So, what's the secret to being in the business that long?
Speaker 10:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 1:What's the secret? Like? What is it that? What? What makes it happen? Relationships?
Speaker 10:Well, putting my clients first, Okay Good, deciding to be the best real try could be every day Awesome, whatever came of that day as far as productivity came. But it was all about answering all the calls and just doing the best I could and and forgetting about the money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you mean like this stuff here, forgetting about the money which?
Speaker 10:a lot of times in sales. A lot of times in sales, it's tough to do. It's amazing, right? It was very hard for me to do at the beginning. I almost stopped selling real estate. Now I can't imagine what else I would have done.
Speaker 1:Wow, so so you have a question for me.
Speaker 10:Well, I was wondering oh boy, here we go Well. A couple of things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh boy, she's got several questions.
Speaker 10:Now, do you remember your very first podcast, who it was and what the topic was and why you chose it?
Speaker 1:First podcast. Well, justin was the first, and the reason I picked Justin is because he was the only one that would do it. Seriously, I was going to ask a lot of different people, but he was the only one that would do it.
Speaker 10:Okay, yeah, now, and my other question is is there a person or a topic that you've wanted to cover on your podcast that you haven't been able to yet because you haven't been able to find the person? That is is related to the topic you'd like to know about, or you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, I gotcha.
Speaker 1:I think I would love to find somebody that was either A in the space program, like NASA, or somebody like that that I could pick their brain on the show and learn about what it's like for space travel, or maybe they were even just in, never got to do it, but actually went through the training. That kind of thing would be very interesting to me, and so if there's anybody that's into that or has somebody who was in NASA or somebody that was on any kind of a spacecraft, that would be awesome.
Speaker 10:Who's the oldest person you've ever had on the podcast 101 years old, and what was?
Speaker 1:your topic World War II, really World War II. I've had two World War II people in here, two of them, and one was 101 and the other one was like 97 or 98. That was incredible. Hearing those stories and getting those stories was amazing.
Speaker 10:Firsthand.
Speaker 1:It was incredible, wow, and they were very, very with it. Those are also podcasts you should listen to. They're really good.
Speaker 10:Have you interviewed children, any children, and why?
Speaker 1:Our kids have been on, but I haven't done any of the other kids except for them. Actually I shouldn't say that Owen Estalis, owen Estalis, who's an actor, he was in Hillbilly Elegy, which is the movie that's about Vance. He was here. He played young Vance. He's been in the studio twice, so he was in as a very young kid and then he was in right after he did Hillbilly. He was in that too. Yeah, now he moved south so I wanted try and get him on here, but didn't. He wasn't in the area.
Speaker 10:So yeah, all right, okay, next yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1:Thank you so much for being here. Hopefully we can have a drink together after the show. Yeah, all right, so we have. Now. It's jess and tony. Yeah, so there you go, we're gonna give you both. Have a microphone. There's a chair back there, tony, that you can grab. I love seeing the people coming in and out of the uh, of the the the room there. That's kind of fun, kind of fun. So how are you doing? We are good. Are you guys ripped up yet or anything? No, you're good. No, we're good. You're good. Okay, you're responsible, okay. We had our magic mind. This morning.
Speaker 1:Oh good, Good, Good. Segue to the magic mind. We'll bring this up a little later, but it is really good. Did you guys notice that it doesn't? It's not as chunky. You see how that's chunky in the bottom. This is cause this is an older, older batch. It's not as chunky anymore. They actually the matcha, which is a mushroom was was not able to be, uh, ground up, fine enough. They hired a scientist I'm not kidding you, I got an email about this. They hired a scientist that figured out how to emulsify it better. So now you don't get into that residue in the bottom you got an email about this yeah, I'm connected with magic mind.
Speaker 1:I'm very connected.
Speaker 16:Yeah, that is how we start our day what's that? Get to the office we cheers our cheers, the magic mind.
Speaker 1:That's good. That's good. That's how we start, yeah. Yeah, are you guys looking for something? There's like people looking for something. You're good, what's that? We need to be close oh, get, get closer to the microphones. There you go, there you go. Okay, so we're going to keep moving here. So, tony and Jess, you were on the show not too long ago and you were here because your company inspired wellness, which they weren't supposed to wear logos. I told them not to, but they didn't know. I'm kidding. I didn't get that.
Speaker 1:So you are. You guys are doing great work. You're working with a lot of kids around the County. You guys are doing great work. You're working with a lot of kids around the county. How's it going with the school you're just starting.
Speaker 16:It's going really well. Actually, we were able to acquire two new school districts this year in addition to the ones that we serviced last year. Awesome, it's really good. We have a lot of good stuff coming up. We have a lot of ideas for future services as well. We've seen a pickup, obviously obviously since school started, with anxiety and getting back into routines. So it's really nice to be able to be in the schools and helping these students and parents and teachers and everybody adjust.
Speaker 1:And what do you guys specialize in, Like what's your specialty? That you would say I know you cover a lot of different things, but what's your specialty? That's a great question. There's a lot of us.
Speaker 15:Um there's nine clinicians and two interns now which is different from when we were here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um, we can't get nine people in here just so you know cause last time they put remember they pushed the limit you go they're like ah well, you know you can only have two. Like you can only have two other people. No, we want three, we can only have two people. You can know. Want three, we can only have two people. You can know we want three. I'm like I guess we're gonna have three.
Speaker 16:You made it happen. Yeah, we did yes. So what would 11 look like? And then we have a 12, starting in January.
Speaker 1:Hugo, how would we do this? I don't even know how we would do it, I don't know. That's funny, so, um, so you special, so there lot of things, but you're covering a lot of schools.
Speaker 16:Yeah, yeah, awesome we are. Since we've been in here last, we have, as you know, opened an office in Axton with thank you, you and Pete Heim were very instrumental in making that happen, more so Pete than me, but that's all right. Hey, it takes a village. Us grow in that area as well. Cool, Um, so yeah, so that's that's.
Speaker 1:the goal is to continue to grow here and we'll have to have you come back in and do a show again. Absolutely.
Speaker 16:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Just the two of you.
Speaker 16:Well, we were honored. I remember you know, brad, we have been friends for a very long time and always hearing about the podcast and that trip to the beach in December when you were like, hey, you should be on it. I was like finally, yeah, that's funny, that's funny, but we are so honored to be on the podcast. We really had a great time with it, um, and we hope to do a lot in the future. We're so proud of you. Do you have a?
Speaker 1:question for me.
Speaker 16:We do, we do oh boy.
Speaker 1:Is it a combined question or is? It, we have a couple. I don't know if we have that kind of time. Let's see where we are time-wise. I think we're good, all right, oh yeah, well, well, yeah okay, questions.
Speaker 15:We'll start with question one. If somebody came to you with a box of all the things that you lost, what's the first thing you'd be looking for?
Speaker 1:oh man, um, first thing I'd be looking for is what's that my mind? Hugo, that was funny. He said my mind, that's really good. Um, I'm going to say um, a box of. What am I looking for? Is this like a psychological thing?
Speaker 16:Are you guys reading me? It's always deep.
Speaker 1:It's probably um, actually I wish I had a box that had in it what I'm going to learn in the future. So I open it up and I go oh man, if I do, if I do this, this and this, I, I'll, I'll be, it'll be an easier life. It's a good spin right.
Speaker 3:Not bad.
Speaker 16:So, actually your response kind of piggybacks off the second question. So if we have time for one, more question.
Speaker 1:Holy shit, I need another bottle of wine or something. Go ahead.
Speaker 16:So if you were to tell your younger self any piece of advice but only in three words. What would it be?
Speaker 1:In three words. How about just do it? How about just do it? That's two words, but just just do it, right? Yeah, don't be afraid, live outside that box. Actually live outside that box and just do it, and don't don't let anything hold you back, because this is not a rehearsal. We all know that this is it. That's a lot more than three words, okay. Well, your time's up Okay.
Speaker 16:On that note, get the heck out of here All right now we're moving on.
Speaker 1:So, um, robin Jones, I believe, is next right. So Robin, I guess, is out there, ready to come in. Robin, hey girls, thanks so much for being here. Appreciate it. Thank you so much. All right, look at it. Look, the holding room is getting less and less people. It's getting emptier and emptier, so that means I won't have anybody to to have fun with afterwards. You're going to sit right there and you know you got to get up on that microphone because you have done podcasts before we had such a good time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Robin Jones, from Berks County living here she um, I met you a long time ago a long time ago. And um. What ended up happening is we ended up doing a podcast together and it was so fun, my gosh, was that fun I wonder how many episodes we did.
Speaker 3:I'm not sure it was a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know what's funny? I think it was. It was probably close to 200 had to be well, I could look back it was every week you'd have to pull your redding eagle papers I don't know. It's so true, so true. So it was every week on a thursday. Yep, and what would do? What time in the morning was that? Maybe 9 am 9 am every week and that was so fun. We would do like current events. Hugo, do you remember? Did you ever see the show?
Speaker 3:No, you never saw it.
Speaker 1:Tony.
Speaker 2:Reese, tony Reese.
Speaker 1:Yes, tony Reese, gami Nieves, robin Jones, and we had a blast. There was the four of us. We did it at the Double Tree and it was just a great time we did it.
Speaker 3:We started at the Crown Plaza. Oh my gosh, we did start at the Crown Plaza first, and then at her office and then at the Double Tree. It was wonderful.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. So you're the publisher of the Berks County Living Magazine. Yes, years. Wow, it's incredible. Right, it is. Yeah, that's amazing, and the magazine is always, always looks great. I always look forward to actually the cover.
Speaker 3:Oh, me too.
Speaker 1:Is there something about that with the cover? Like you just well, you said, I remember in the, in the podcast you did, you said opening up that box and probably there's like a smell of the magazines too that smells good.
Speaker 3:You open that box up.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's great.
Speaker 3:The public hasn't received it yet. No, no, no.
Speaker 1:But you see it and then you look through it. Yeah, so that's really cool. So that's something you look forward to. I love it. Yeah that's awesome, Awesome. So you're not going to tell us it's on the cover, then I guess obviously.
Speaker 3:No, you can't.
Speaker 1:A couple days, I thought maybe we could get her to give something for the October.
Speaker 3:Yeah, our October issue every year is our senior living issue to tie into the Berks Encore senior.
Speaker 1:So does that mean I'm on the cover?
Speaker 3:No, I feel as though I might be.

As fast as we build it. Can you open that damn road there? There's a road that I just wish I could take a shortcut on, but they have these blocks up there. I know what's going on with that. I'm not dumb. Once we open it, yeah, it's gonna.
Speaker 8:Yeah, I'm worried about the traffic yeah just it's gonna fly through there. Yeah, I actually asked the township if we could put a one of those table speed bumps in. Yeah, they wouldn't let us do it. I'm like why that's what he said.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah yeah, I know, this is where this is what's funny about Kevin. It always goes into that.
Speaker 8:I'm paying for it Because they're going to fly through there. That's my biggest concern. I agree with you.
Speaker 1:I'm planning on going 70 through there, that's what I'm thinking 70 should work really well. Now if you put one of those ramps in there. That'd be really nice. You get launched off and come back down. You look good man. Thanks. You look good man. Thanks man. You like the shirt? I love the shirt, doesn't it look like Vegas? I got really cool sneakers on too.

Speaker 1:And my daughter's right there. She's kind of wondering why you didn't get a chance to talk to her yeah.
Speaker 8:I was actually in the room and I said who's that young girl? And they said what? Yeah, I know, dude, she was a little baby. Yeah, exactly, little kid. Amazing, amazing, carson's golfing. And I already said, you're at this age already better than your father.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's a given. When he started he was better than me. It was funny. Kevin works the room in there. He knows everything that's going on in that room. Who's there? What's going on? I love it. I love it. So you have any questions for me? Like you want to ask me a question?
Speaker 8:yeah, so the question I would want to ask I can't wait, no, it's not that. Okay, good, you used to have beautiful. Oh geez, if, if you could, the genie came out of the bottle, would you want that hair back? I know, not necessarily at your age, but like sort of like that whole.
Speaker 1:you mean like up there on the Gorgeous. That was a good picture, that's a good picture.
Speaker 8:That's the one I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:If I could have that hair back, I would be a happy guy, really happy guy. That's what I should have told them. Should have been in the box my hair. That's right. If there was something in the box that I could get out of a box right now, it would be my hair. That would be it. That you know what it's tough. It's tough.
Speaker 8:You still got your hair, though what the hell Listen. I got great hair, but my feet smell.
Speaker 1:Oh geez, Nobody's perfect oh my God, oh geez, all right, on that note. Who's up next? Is that? The only question you had was that was it I, I? Oh, we had one, okay, that's good no that's good, that's good.
Speaker 7:Okay, you're, you're, you're good, I'm good, we've been always watching here at the room, watching you here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we were watching you over here. We were right there. We were watching you in that room. We were watching you work, the work, the crowd. I came for the free booze. I knew that coming out means a lot. Okay, all right. So who's next in the hot seat here? Tammy is here. Oh, tammy, good to see you. I was hoping you'd get here on time. We're running a little over right now, but I think that's okay, we'll be all right. We'll be all right. You're going to have to bring that down. Kevin's a little tall there. So, oh, yeah, well that would have been.
Speaker 11:That would have been fun right.
Speaker 1:Awesome. So cheers, I'm going to do a little cheers with you. I have my little Surfside. Do you guys drink Surfside? These things are amazing. This invention is incredible.
Speaker 11:So I brought you a present. Oh, you brought me a present.
Speaker 1:Oh, is this going to be T-shirts for you? And?
Speaker 11:your crew.
Speaker 1:Oh, thank you, congratulations, thank you so much, oh my God, there's how many people we have here. Thank you so much and I know it's on here. This is the center for TMJ, which is that's your company, and I see I have your teeth here.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:That would be bad If we had your teeth here, it'd be really bad, yeah. So, um, thanks for coming. I know you were at a dinner or something beforehand.
Speaker 11:Yes, I was entertaining another dentist.
Speaker 1:Entertaining another dentist. Okay, good, good, good, I'm going to put these down, or otherwise I'm going to be holding them.
Speaker 11:Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1:But thanks for coming in. So when Tammy was on, uh, the reason she was at one is that she was a customer years ago. Also, a friend also used to do my teeth, um. And then what was really amazing is when you, when you helped out Jess with her TMJ and she was in a lot of pain and my wife and and you, you fixed it. I mean, you gave her an appliance, fixed it. And from that point on I was like this person's pretty amazing, I mean, and now you're doing sleep apnea, you're doing snoring, all this stuff. So, uh, you still get this. Is there anything new?
Speaker 11:sleep apnea. You're doing, snoring, all this stuff, so, uh, you still get this. Is there anything new? Well, my question for you oh my god, actually from your wife oh boy, when am I gonna get the appliance? Because of snoring yeah yeah, no, are you getting nudged?
Speaker 1:uh, yeah, I do get nudged sometimes have you done anything about? I haven't done a damn thing. Uh, I do probably snore, but it doesn't bother me. And yes, I should come to you and get the appliance made that makes me breathe better and sleep better. I should do that. Yeah, because I need to sleep. Yeah, I absolutely do. Boy, this has become an awkward show. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 11:There is something new, though, to get you off the hook.
Speaker 1:Oh, what's new.
Speaker 11:It's called an Inspire implant and it's put in by an ear, nose and throat doctor and it controls the tongue at night, so it stays out of the airway. Oh so you don't have to wear anything in your mouth, you don't have to wear a mask on your face.
Speaker 1:I think I know somebody that has this. I think Susan's husband has this. Uh, mark McFadden, I think he has that, that appliance. I'm pretty sure he does actually. Yeah, cause it's surgically put in.
Speaker 11:It is.
Speaker 1:And it went through your ear.
Speaker 11:No, no. They go in through underneath your tongue and they put a uh like a computer underneath the clavicle and then there's leads that go to the tongue. So it pushes the tongue out of the airway all night.
Speaker 1:Well, that's interesting. So your tongue is getting shocked the whole night. Pretty much.
Speaker 1:Very good, very good. I'm probably. Jess would probably rather you had me do that one, because she'll probably turn up the shock somehow, you know. Oh, my gosh. So otherwise, you're doing well, very good, all right, you're going to come back on the show sometime, sure, okay, good, good, and no other questions for me, though. We're good for good, all right, awesome, thanks for stopping in. Stick around so I can say hello to you afterwards too. All right, yeah, we're doing well here at 7.

First, and to set an example of getting up and doing what you love to do also, uh, living with no regrets, no regrets, perfect. Uh, just like I said before, just do it. You know, what I've been learning more and more is that you just got to do it. You know this. This started april 13th, uh, 2020, and it was an idea because of covid, and with that idea, became what it is now. So you create out of nothing and it becomes something it's what you think about becomes.

Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, no, I, I enjoy both. This is my golf. Oh, this is your this is my.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's the way I look at it now if I can make golf, uh, later on you remember, at 30, some years, same as you're longer in the business but if I can make this part of my retirement, whether it be going from this, here's the dream. The dream is going from this either A into politics, okay, or B into public speaking of some sort, coming up with writing a book and doing something that's more motivational, more public, like that, where I can help people, serve people and help make their lives better. That's the goal. But real estate is still obviously in my blood and I love to do it. It's my competitive side.
Speaker 13:Well, you're good at it. Thank you, she's a book editor by the way.

Uh, now I have my family coming on and is uh to, you know, kind of wrap this whole thing up, because they were here the last time for christmas. You're gonna have to share a mic there, guys.

The family's back in the studio um 200 episode episodes later and, um, you know, just remember you got to get up on those mics, guys. So what do you? I'm gonna just ask what do you think of the podcast tonight? How'd it go?
Speaker 7:it was good it was good.
Speaker 1:So all night she was chattering on that microphone faking a podcast. It was good, it was good, okay, good, okay. She's looking at herself in the tv and what do you think, carson? How'd it go?
Speaker 7:it was good it was good.
Speaker 1:You sound like you're not sure it was good. It was good.
Speaker 7:You sound like you're not sure it was good besides the shirt.
Speaker 1:Besides the shirt, so they don't like the shirt.
Speaker 7:Yeah, but it matches your shoes. That's cool. It's a little crazy.
Speaker 17:Well, I was also thinking when you said the three things you might want to get into, you would have to get some new clothes, new clothes.
Speaker 16:Yeah, not really fly.
Speaker 1:So well, how do you know? Yeah, not really fly. So well, how do you know? This could be the new look for politics, right? You don't know? People remember me.
Speaker 7:I don't think so.
Speaker 1:You don't think so, okay, okay. So do you guys have any questions for me? I do Okay.
Speaker 7:Ooh, if you could be anything besides, like a successful realtor and a podcaster, like person or whatever. What?
Speaker 1:would you do? I'd be a singer, singer-songwriter.
Speaker 7:Besides that, besides things that you already did, I'd be probably a commercial pilot.
Speaker 1:She's not impressed by the answer. Were you expecting something different? No, commercial pilot? I think so. We know Daddy's always prepared to fly.
Speaker 1:Of course I don't drink on a plane. Should we tell them real quick? I do not drink on a plane. Should we tell them real quick? I do not drink on a plane and the reason I don't is because I have my pilot's license. Now I haven't flown for a long time, but I have my pilot's license. And the reason I don't drink on a plane is because if somebody comes out and goes, is there a pilot or is there somebody that can fly the plane, which means that the captain died or is no longer able to fly and the first officer is no longer able to fly. So I don't drink because I'm the third officer.
Speaker 17:Okay, so that's why I don't drink. That's the reason I drink on a plane.
Speaker 1:That she drinks heavily because she's afraid I might be flying.
Speaker 7:Wait, I have a question, though One more.
Speaker 1:What's that?
Speaker 7:How did you get just one red shoe?
Speaker 1:How'd I get one red shoe? You know, ask Sus suzy redesign it was, it was um.
Speaker 1:I wear red sneakers almost every day which you guys know I have 20 I think 21 pairs of red sneakers. I thought it was 18, it's more. Now I have 21 pairs of red sneakers and I wear red sneakers every day and that's why it was in the. That's why it's in the logo. I told suzy after she had that logo started. I said to her I need a red sneaker in there and let's see what that looks like. She put the red sneaker in and it was. It was perfect.
Speaker 7:Um, I have a question. Yeah, go ahead. What made you start the podcast?
Speaker 1:Um, I always I liked doing podcasts that I'd done before, but during COVID it gave me the space and the time to actually do it and think about it.
Speaker 7:Yeah, I remember it. I remember you with this little thingy midwob over here this thingy midwob, over here this thingy midwob you mean the mixer. Yeah, yeah, you would sit in like the dining room. You know you would sit on our counter and just like start pressing buttons oh yeah, absolutely yeah. You know, you guys were all excited about it yeah, and I always said can I press those colorful buttons?
Speaker 1:and I said no, I know, yeah, exactly, all right.
Speaker 7:So but when it was off, I just put my fingers on every of course you did.
Speaker 1:Of course you did, jessie, everything else you want to uh say or talk about or anything like that, because we're gonna have to wrap this up.
Speaker 17:It is 801 last question yeah, last question we've talked about the number of podcasts that somebody usually does to be a successful podcaster usually to get past a certain number. So here we are 200. Tell us. What do you think made you successful to get to reach that goal?
Speaker 1:um, I would say just having a vision for it, also having a good team, uh, hugo, tony stevens, suzy lysik having a great team behind me, and and being able to delegate things that I that I can't do, um, and uh, just keeping it going. I'll tell you one thing that really made it go better was when we started recording instead of, instead of always doing live like this, uh, we, we started recording them and placing them out further ahead, further in the distance. Uh, that's probably what made me keep doing it. And now it's amazing and I think I've told people this a couple of times is I get about five or six requests a week to be on the show, and we're not talking locally. These are nationally and sometimes international.
Speaker 7:Okay, good, I have one more question. Okay, go. How did you feel when you did your first podcast?
Speaker 1:I'm a little nervous. Yeah, a little nervous, but it was. It was just in in our, in the office, in our house and with Justin, so it wasn't that bad and nobody was really listening, all right, so we got to wrap it up Go ahead, let's do family cheers. Oh yeah, family cheers.
Speaker 1:Thank you, thank you. Thank you. All right, so we're going to wrap this up and I have a little bit to say here before we do.
