17
00:01:00,334 --> 00:01:04,616
Introducing the best podcast in Utah,
Radio Daybreak.

18
00:01:04,817 --> 00:01:06,718
Here are your hosts, Jess Plain and Bex.

19
00:01:06,718 --> 00:01:11,061
Oh yes, Happy New Year, Happy 2024.

20
00:01:12,523 --> 00:01:13,844
We're here, we made it.

21
00:01:13,844 --> 00:01:16,286
We did, Happy 2024 y'all.

22
00:01:16,286 --> 00:01:18,127
First show of the year.

23
00:01:18,127 --> 00:01:19,548
What about your New Year's resolutions?

24
00:01:19,548 --> 00:01:21,449
Did you make any resolutions, Bex?

25
00:01:21,574 --> 00:01:23,555
I didn't this year, Blaine.

26
00:01:23,555 --> 00:01:24,236
How about you?

27
00:01:24,236 --> 00:01:27,078
Or do you jump into New Year's resolutions
every year?

28
00:01:27,078 --> 00:01:28,739
I don't think we've talked about it.

29
00:01:28,739 --> 00:01:29,359
Yeah, I really don't.

30
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:29,720
You know what?

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,002
I really don't because I don't like giving
myself that deadline.

32
00:01:33,002 --> 00:01:36,585
So if I have a resolution, it just starts
whenever it might start in October, it

33
00:01:36,585 --> 00:01:37,985
might start in July.

34
00:01:37,986 --> 00:01:38,926
So that's how I kind of roll.

35
00:01:38,926 --> 00:01:39,327
Yeah, absolutely.

36
00:01:39,327 --> 00:01:40,688
Absolutely.

37
00:01:40,688 --> 00:01:45,771
And I think you and I, I mean, as far as
the podcast goes, like we really sat down

38
00:01:45,771 --> 00:01:48,753
and dug deep and dove in.

39
00:01:49,102 --> 00:01:50,402
clear back in October.

40
00:01:50,402 --> 00:01:53,983
So I mean, some of those intentional
things that we've set into and the

41
00:01:53,983 --> 00:01:58,244
business side of things like, yeah, we're,
we're already running, running it.

42
00:01:58,244 --> 00:02:02,525
I'm excited now cause now ride the wave
media is in full effect.

43
00:02:02,525 --> 00:02:06,366
I'm so excited for this is our first show
on ride the wave media right now.

44
00:02:06,446 --> 00:02:12,448
And our first guest is Jen banks from a is
for adversity.

45
00:02:12,448 --> 00:02:13,388
That's a show right here.

46
00:02:13,388 --> 00:02:14,749
You can find on ride the wave.

47
00:02:14,749 --> 00:02:18,014
She's got a unique way she's been doing
this podcast.

48
00:02:18,014 --> 00:02:18,414
Yeah.

49
00:02:18,414 --> 00:02:19,715
It's a cool, fun thing.

50
00:02:19,715 --> 00:02:20,897
You know about it, Bex, right?

51
00:02:20,897 --> 00:02:21,978
Oh, yeah, she really does.

52
00:02:21,978 --> 00:02:25,422
So I don't want to give it away because
we're actually going to jump in and talk

53
00:02:25,422 --> 00:02:28,465
to Jen about the reasoning behind her
podcast name.

54
00:02:28,465 --> 00:02:30,687
But yeah, let's just dive in and chit chat
with her.

55
00:02:30,687 --> 00:02:31,869
Welcome to the show, Jen.

56
00:02:31,869 --> 00:02:33,611
It's such an honor to be here.

57
00:02:33,611 --> 00:02:39,277
I love that we have connected and that
we're all able to meet here in the studio.

58
00:02:39,277 --> 00:02:40,338
It feels surreal.

59
00:02:40,338 --> 00:02:40,738
It's fun.

60
00:02:40,738 --> 00:02:41,439
Well, it is kind of surreal.

61
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:41,959
It's virtual.

62
00:02:41,959 --> 00:02:43,961
So it's you know, we're in a different
world now.

63
00:02:43,961 --> 00:02:45,562
Like this is thank goodness.

64
00:02:45,562 --> 00:02:47,043
Thank goodness, Blaine, because I got to
call out.

65
00:02:47,043 --> 00:02:48,825
You actually had a cold this last week.

66
00:02:48,825 --> 00:02:53,148
So if you're hearing a little raspiness
and Blaine's voice today, it is because he

67
00:02:53,148 --> 00:02:53,969
does have a cold.

68
00:02:53,969 --> 00:02:55,130
So it's true.

69
00:02:55,130 --> 00:02:56,111
It is.

70
00:02:56,111 --> 00:02:57,011
And I'm actually not here.

71
00:02:57,011 --> 00:02:58,673
This is actually a Blaine.

72
00:02:58,673 --> 00:03:00,234
So this is wow.

73
00:03:00,234 --> 00:03:01,856
Yeah, that's how that's how advanced we
are.

74
00:03:01,856 --> 00:03:04,478
This twenty four now, guys, like it's
twenty four.

75
00:03:04,478 --> 00:03:05,338
We are advanced.

76
00:03:05,338 --> 00:03:06,339
We're taking off.

77
00:03:06,339 --> 00:03:07,380
OK, let's get back on track.

78
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:08,160
Goodness.

79
00:03:09,782 --> 00:03:12,002
No glitches either.

80
00:03:12,002 --> 00:03:13,643
I mean, you're looking good over there,
Blaine.

81
00:03:13,643 --> 00:03:14,823
You look real natural.

82
00:03:14,823 --> 00:03:16,283
You're not doing the robotic movements.

83
00:03:16,283 --> 00:03:16,643
Thank you.

84
00:03:16,643 --> 00:03:16,924
Thank you.

85
00:03:16,924 --> 00:03:17,224
Thank you.

86
00:03:17,224 --> 00:03:19,024
Thank you.

87
00:03:19,024 --> 00:03:20,745
Jen, you've joined us in chaos here.

88
00:03:20,745 --> 00:03:22,205
So we're sorry already.

89
00:03:22,205 --> 00:03:22,885
I know.

90
00:03:22,885 --> 00:03:23,385
I'm sorry, Jen.

91
00:03:23,385 --> 00:03:25,086
It's a good thing she knows us personally.

92
00:03:25,086 --> 00:03:25,786
It's true.

93
00:03:25,786 --> 00:03:26,546
We have.

94
00:03:26,546 --> 00:03:30,627
Look, Jen is one of my favorite people
that we met last year back at the Daybreak

95
00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:33,168
Networking Events, hosted by Sarah Elbert.

96
00:03:33,168 --> 00:03:35,309
And now we're all co-hosts of those
events.

97
00:03:35,309 --> 00:03:37,709
I learned about her podcast early on.

98
00:03:37,709 --> 00:03:39,109
I learned about it when...

99
00:03:39,158 --> 00:03:45,102
Me and Bex put out a couple episodes of
our podcast and we had some other people

100
00:03:45,102 --> 00:03:48,384
who were upset about that podcast, but not
Jen Banks.

101
00:03:48,564 --> 00:03:54,628
Jen Banks reached out because she knows
the rule here is the people at the bottom

102
00:03:54,628 --> 00:03:57,850
are competing and the people at the top
are collaborating.

103
00:03:57,850 --> 00:03:59,792
And she reached out and she wanted to
collaborate.

104
00:03:59,792 --> 00:04:03,855
And I'm happy, I welcomed her because I've
got to brag on one thing for her.

105
00:04:03,855 --> 00:04:05,356
Yeah, let's hear it.

106
00:04:05,356 --> 00:04:08,597
She did 134 episodes by herself.

107
00:04:09,962 --> 00:04:10,202
Jen!

108
00:04:10,202 --> 00:04:13,224
Oh my goodness, congrats girl, that's
amazing.

109
00:04:13,224 --> 00:04:18,587
Listen to this, 44% of all podcasts only
make it three episodes.

110
00:04:18,587 --> 00:04:21,909
Three episodes, yeah, it's wild.

111
00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:25,731
That was like the perfect segue because
I've been dying to actually ask her what

112
00:04:25,731 --> 00:04:27,071
her name means.

113
00:04:27,292 --> 00:04:30,654
And Blaine, I know that you know a little
bit more about Jen than I do.

114
00:04:30,654 --> 00:04:33,435
So Jen, that's actually gonna be the first
question how we're gonna kick you off.

115
00:04:33,435 --> 00:04:36,857
Tell me about your name, a little bit
about your podcast, a little bit about

116
00:04:36,857 --> 00:04:37,577
you.

117
00:04:37,998 --> 00:04:40,939
what you want our listeners to know, but
tell me about that name.

118
00:04:40,939 --> 00:04:43,680
Yes, so I am a huge quote collector.

119
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,101
I love inspiration.

120
00:04:45,101 --> 00:04:50,543
I feel like people can say it better than
I can, you know, and I just lean on other

121
00:04:50,543 --> 00:04:53,044
people's words all the time for motivation
and encouragement.

122
00:04:53,044 --> 00:04:57,906
And so ever since I was 12, I collected
these quotes and I put them in a journal

123
00:04:58,087 --> 00:05:00,588
and I would just gather them.

124
00:05:00,648 --> 00:05:04,649
Well, I separated them by topic and...

125
00:05:04,846 --> 00:05:07,327
used the letters of the alphabet to break
down those topics.

126
00:05:07,327 --> 00:05:13,149
And so A was adversity B was B, you see
chasing meaning all the way down to Z.

127
00:05:13,389 --> 00:05:17,051
And that kind of became the basis of my
episodes.

128
00:05:17,051 --> 00:05:19,752
So I would use each letter for an episode.

129
00:05:19,752 --> 00:05:23,114
And then once I got to Z, I decided that I
really loved podcasting and I just kept

130
00:05:23,114 --> 00:05:25,215
going with season after season.

131
00:05:25,215 --> 00:05:30,017
And yeah, it's all about consistency
because I felt like with growth, it was

132
00:05:30,017 --> 00:05:31,550
just a matter of

133
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:36,972
when not if, as long as I stuck to it and
found advice or pivoted along the way that

134
00:05:36,972 --> 00:05:38,012
something would happen.

135
00:05:38,012 --> 00:05:39,513
So here we are.

136
00:05:39,633 --> 00:05:40,414
You stuck with it.

137
00:05:40,414 --> 00:05:44,255
You overcame adversity to continue this
podcast.

138
00:05:45,236 --> 00:05:46,256
What season are we on?

139
00:05:46,256 --> 00:05:49,538
Tomorrow is your debut episode on Ride the
Wave Media.

140
00:05:49,538 --> 00:05:51,398
What season is it starting tomorrow?

141
00:05:51,459 --> 00:05:53,799
Yes, season six tomorrow.

142
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:54,980
Insane.

143
00:05:55,801 --> 00:05:56,181
Wow.

144
00:05:56,181 --> 00:05:57,986
So if you look right now, all...

145
00:05:57,986 --> 00:06:00,386
Five seasons are already up on Rod DeWave
Media.

146
00:06:00,386 --> 00:06:02,107
You can go listen to all those now.

147
00:06:02,107 --> 00:06:06,649
And you can see how unique this is because
she does take you through 26 letters of

148
00:06:06,649 --> 00:06:07,009
the alphabet.

149
00:06:07,009 --> 00:06:10,171
There's 26, my education's a little, it's
been a while since I was in school.

150
00:06:10,171 --> 00:06:11,531
So are there 26 letters?

151
00:06:12,191 --> 00:06:13,071
Yes.

152
00:06:13,112 --> 00:06:17,153
So she takes you through all 26 letters of
the alphabet and ties it to the episode.

153
00:06:17,153 --> 00:06:21,235
So tomorrow's debut episode for season
six, we got, who is it?

154
00:06:21,235 --> 00:06:23,636
Anna Palmer, I believe, is gonna be the
guest.

155
00:06:23,636 --> 00:06:27,437
Yeah, so I changed topics every season.

156
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:32,095
And, you know, I was just kind of trying
to find my voice, my niche.

157
00:06:32,115 --> 00:06:35,536
And now season six will be all about
identity.

158
00:06:35,676 --> 00:06:39,637
And Anna Palmer is my therapist actually.

159
00:06:39,637 --> 00:06:45,099
And she taught me a lot about identity and
just our inherent lens and our derived

160
00:06:45,099 --> 00:06:50,160
lens and just what it means to be an
individual and kind of how to find herself

161
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,141
under all the hats that we wear and those
types of things.

162
00:06:53,141 --> 00:06:54,061
And so.

163
00:06:54,301 --> 00:06:54,882
As I've.

164
00:06:54,882 --> 00:06:59,205
gone on this journey myself, I've found
other people who are along this journey of

165
00:06:59,205 --> 00:07:02,427
maintaining their identity through
motherhood, through parenthood, throughout

166
00:07:02,427 --> 00:07:04,088
whatever life is thrown at them.

167
00:07:04,088 --> 00:07:09,352
Now check this out though, season six,
we're doing two letters each.

168
00:07:09,352 --> 00:07:11,313
So it'll be two A's, two B's, two C's.

169
00:07:11,313 --> 00:07:12,674
So Jan's gonna be year round now.

170
00:07:12,674 --> 00:07:14,516
Jan Banks is going weekly.

171
00:07:14,516 --> 00:07:15,817
She's doubling it up.

172
00:07:15,817 --> 00:07:16,737
Year round.

173
00:07:16,737 --> 00:07:17,698
Yes.

174
00:07:17,978 --> 00:07:18,819
Get excited.

175
00:07:18,819 --> 00:07:20,240
I am so excited.

176
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,381
Well, congratulations.

177
00:07:21,381 --> 00:07:23,018
That's absolutely amazing.

178
00:07:23,018 --> 00:07:26,459
I want to touch gears a little bit
because, you know, we, and this is a

179
00:07:26,459 --> 00:07:30,041
question I like to ask our female
entrepreneurs.

180
00:07:30,181 --> 00:07:31,522
How did you get started?

181
00:07:31,522 --> 00:07:34,864
What advice would you have for other
females who are looking to start a

182
00:07:34,864 --> 00:07:35,384
podcast?

183
00:07:35,384 --> 00:07:36,625
It is, it's not easy.

184
00:07:36,625 --> 00:07:41,488
And I think you hit the nail on the head
when you said consistency, but what advice

185
00:07:41,488 --> 00:07:46,270
first off would you offer other females
who are looking to get into this industry

186
00:07:46,270 --> 00:07:48,611
or female entrepreneurs in general?

187
00:07:48,612 --> 00:07:49,912
Yeah, that's a great question.

188
00:07:49,912 --> 00:07:52,633
I feel like I had a friend point out a
phrase.

189
00:07:52,706 --> 00:07:56,608
that I really love and she said, Jen,
you're not afraid of the messy middle.

190
00:07:56,608 --> 00:07:59,189
And I just love that because the middle is
so messy.

191
00:07:59,189 --> 00:08:00,530
You know, you don't know everything.

192
00:08:00,530 --> 00:08:03,892
You don't know what it's gonna look like
or how it's gonna turn out, but you do it

193
00:08:03,892 --> 00:08:04,312
anyway.

194
00:08:04,312 --> 00:08:09,895
You just go and you follow your light and
whatever calls to you and you just do it.

195
00:08:09,895 --> 00:08:16,038
I have a friend that, you know, she waited
for years to start a business and she's

196
00:08:16,038 --> 00:08:18,780
even now kicking herself for not starting
sooner, you know?

197
00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:21,761
And that's what I hear a lot is, oh, I
should have started this sooner, you know?

198
00:08:21,761 --> 00:08:22,378
And so,

199
00:08:22,378 --> 00:08:24,199
I don't think you'll regret starting.

200
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:26,960
It might be scary, but I don't think
you'll regret it.

201
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,303
You know, it comes along the way and there
are reasons and the timing, but it's just

202
00:08:32,303 --> 00:08:32,783
neat to see.

203
00:08:32,783 --> 00:08:37,506
But yeah, you can't be afraid of the messy
middle or they say you have to suck first

204
00:08:37,506 --> 00:08:38,446
to get better, you know?

205
00:08:38,446 --> 00:08:40,467
And you just gotta move past it.

206
00:08:40,467 --> 00:08:45,230
Yeah, failure is definitely a big part of
growing a business and you know, don't let

207
00:08:45,230 --> 00:08:48,612
that fear of failure because you can use
it to learn and grow.

208
00:08:48,612 --> 00:08:49,352
That's amazing.

209
00:08:49,352 --> 00:08:50,653
What an awesome message.

210
00:08:50,653 --> 00:08:51,533
I really appreciate that.

211
00:08:51,533 --> 00:08:52,470
So powerful.

212
00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:57,253
So Jen, love that, love that advice for
women in business.

213
00:08:57,354 --> 00:09:02,338
Being a woman in business, sometimes there
are these crazy moments, these challenging

214
00:09:02,338 --> 00:09:03,839
moments or hilarious moments.

215
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:07,122
Do you have anything like that, like a
loop-de-loop moment that you would like to

216
00:09:07,122 --> 00:09:08,983
share in starting your business?

217
00:09:08,983 --> 00:09:10,564
Yeah, like from the early days, yeah.

218
00:09:10,564 --> 00:09:16,269
Yeah, I feel like in the early episodes, I
tend to just really put it all out there.

219
00:09:16,269 --> 00:09:19,772
I had a couple pity party episodes saying,

220
00:09:21,698 --> 00:09:25,619
podcasting or nobody's listening or nobody
cares about this, you know, and I just

221
00:09:25,619 --> 00:09:28,860
totally pity partied on the air and
looking back, that is pretty cringe

222
00:09:28,860 --> 00:09:33,741
worthy, you know, but I guess I was being
real too, you know, it's just, some part

223
00:09:33,741 --> 00:09:37,462
of me wants to take away those episodes,
but then the other part is like, no, this,

224
00:09:37,462 --> 00:09:39,162
look at all this growth over time, you
know?

225
00:09:39,162 --> 00:09:43,244
And so just realizing that humans are
dynamic, that we do change.

226
00:09:43,244 --> 00:09:47,685
And just because I said something a while
ago or felt a certain way at a different

227
00:09:47,685 --> 00:09:50,445
time, doesn't mean that's how I feel now,
you know, just.

228
00:09:50,462 --> 00:09:54,443
giving ourselves grace and realizing that
it's not gonna be perfect at the beginning

229
00:09:54,443 --> 00:09:59,644
and you have to get through a lot before
you Do sound like you want or what you're

230
00:09:59,644 --> 00:10:04,906
working towards I was talking to another
podcaster and she's really working on her

231
00:10:04,906 --> 00:10:09,507
first few episodes even That shows that
she's learning from my experience, you

232
00:10:09,507 --> 00:10:12,808
know And so we all just kind of help each
other wherever we're at on our journey You

233
00:10:12,808 --> 00:10:17,269
know, I love that and I'm gonna actually
let Blaine speak to this because Blaine

234
00:10:17,358 --> 00:10:21,859
we had a little bit of a rough go to, and
I love the point where, you know, you're

235
00:10:21,859 --> 00:10:25,380
talking about you're learning and you're
growing because our podcast has seen that

236
00:10:25,380 --> 00:10:31,542
and we're, you know, 20 episodes in at
this stage-ish, right?

237
00:10:31,542 --> 00:10:32,282
Right around that number.

238
00:10:32,282 --> 00:10:32,883
Oh yeah.

239
00:10:32,883 --> 00:10:38,904
But Blaine and I, what we haven't shared
is that we started off like almost, what

240
00:10:38,904 --> 00:10:39,585
was it Blaine?

241
00:10:39,585 --> 00:10:41,845
Three months before we actually went on
air.

242
00:10:41,845 --> 00:10:42,485
Yep.

243
00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:45,990
And we had been recording and then we ran
into some hiccups.

244
00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:52,452
So I love that message that with business
and growth, it's challenging, right?

245
00:10:52,452 --> 00:10:55,333
Go ahead, Blaine, tell them, tell them.

246
00:10:55,333 --> 00:10:57,013
Listen, there were always hiccups.

247
00:10:57,013 --> 00:11:02,635
There were always hiccups in this from A
is for adversity to radio daybreak.

248
00:11:02,835 --> 00:11:05,856
I'm a professional, I've done 10,000 plus
episodes.

249
00:11:06,576 --> 00:11:08,217
Apple Music had hiccups.

250
00:11:08,217 --> 00:11:11,938
Believe me, we sat there for 40 hours a
week, 40 plus a week.

251
00:11:11,938 --> 00:11:16,379
for about six months before we ever press
play on Apple Music hits.

252
00:11:16,579 --> 00:11:18,799
So there's a lot that goes into this.

253
00:11:18,819 --> 00:11:24,901
You just gotta be consistent, like you
said earlier, and really not care.

254
00:11:24,901 --> 00:11:26,782
You gotta put some, you just put it out,
put it out.

255
00:11:26,782 --> 00:11:30,743
Because like you said, our early episodes
of Radio Daybreak, awful.

256
00:11:30,743 --> 00:11:33,944
I mean, but I don't leave it out there
because I like to see that growth.

257
00:11:33,944 --> 00:11:34,944
I don't care.

258
00:11:35,544 --> 00:11:36,304
That's what we're here for.

259
00:11:36,304 --> 00:11:40,805
We're here to grow if you're Apple Music
all the way to whatever else podcast out

260
00:11:40,805 --> 00:11:41,334
there.

261
00:11:41,334 --> 00:11:42,294
Doesn't matter.

262
00:11:42,294 --> 00:11:43,635
Everybody's got hiccups.

263
00:11:44,035 --> 00:11:44,635
Fight through it.

264
00:11:44,635 --> 00:11:45,816
Fight through the adversity.

265
00:11:45,816 --> 00:11:47,197
Is that not, that's what we're here for,
right?

266
00:11:47,197 --> 00:11:48,938
We're sure.

267
00:11:48,938 --> 00:11:49,919
Totally true.

268
00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:55,722
Yeah, and I do, I would get discouraged by
the slow growth, quote unquote, because it

269
00:11:55,722 --> 00:11:57,603
wasn't happening as fast as I expected.

270
00:11:57,603 --> 00:12:01,525
But here I am three years later and now I
have this collaboration with Ride the Wave

271
00:12:01,525 --> 00:12:03,286
Media and look how it's all turned out.

272
00:12:03,286 --> 00:12:06,528
So, you know, it's just, it's unfolding
beautifully.

273
00:12:06,528 --> 00:12:08,674
And as we change our...

274
00:12:08,674 --> 00:12:12,256
thoughts to reflect that, you know, we're
able to take the adversity as it comes.

275
00:12:12,256 --> 00:12:14,997
Let's take a quick break and get a word
from our sponsors right here.

276
00:12:14,997 --> 00:12:19,100
We'll be right back with Jen Banks, the

here.

303
00:13:35,757 --> 00:13:40,100
I'm the Fresh King Benjamin, host of
Vibing the Apocalypse, a podcast that uses

304
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:43,422
comedy to bring injustices that I went
through to light.

305
00:13:43,523 --> 00:13:46,645
I'm an escapee from a Mormon polygamist
compound in Wyoming.

306
00:13:46,665 --> 00:13:49,687
I was taught that the world was a wicked,
wicked place.

307
00:13:49,747 --> 00:13:53,430
But now that I've escaped, I want you to
show me all the wicked things and help me

308
00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:55,451
catch up on what I missed out on.

309
00:13:55,531 --> 00:13:58,993
Check out Vibing the Apocalypse right here

coming to ride the wave.

Mediates vibing the apocalypse.

312
00:14:03,693 --> 00:14:05,614
But I got another big announcement right
now.

313
00:14:05,614 --> 00:14:06,374
Yeah.

314
00:14:06,374 --> 00:14:10,457
Jen Banks will be leading our How to Start
a Podcast series that we're going to have

315
00:14:10,457 --> 00:14:12,218
in 2024 before the end of 2024.

316
00:14:12,218 --> 00:14:15,040
We're going to have a series out how to
start a podcast.

317
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,902
She's going to be the voice of that
course.

318
00:14:16,902 --> 00:14:17,642
Yes.

319
00:14:17,642 --> 00:14:18,883
Oh, awesome.

320
00:14:18,883 --> 00:14:20,124
I didn't even know about this.

321
00:14:20,124 --> 00:14:21,885
You guys are surprising me with this news.

322
00:14:21,885 --> 00:14:23,506
Congratulations.

323
00:14:23,506 --> 00:14:24,707
So so we're going to help.

324
00:14:24,707 --> 00:14:26,568
We're going to help others out there.

325
00:14:26,648 --> 00:14:27,689
Just learn the process.

326
00:14:27,689 --> 00:14:28,842
Oh, that's a.

327
00:14:28,842 --> 00:14:29,342
Pretty awesome.

328
00:14:29,342 --> 00:14:29,642
Yeah.

329
00:14:29,642 --> 00:14:30,262
Can't wait for that.

330
00:14:30,262 --> 00:14:32,002
So we better be doing it, Jen.

331
00:14:32,002 --> 00:14:33,463
That's so exciting.

332
00:14:33,463 --> 00:14:34,563
Congratulations.

333
00:14:34,563 --> 00:14:36,284
Blaine, it looked like you had something
to say there.

334
00:14:36,284 --> 00:14:37,644
I didn't want to interrupt you.

335
00:14:37,644 --> 00:14:37,864
Yeah.

336
00:14:37,864 --> 00:14:39,725
I want to go back to this quote book.

337
00:14:39,805 --> 00:14:40,985
How big is this book?

338
00:14:40,985 --> 00:14:42,565
Are these multiple books at this point?

339
00:14:42,565 --> 00:14:43,326
It's got to be, right?

340
00:14:43,326 --> 00:14:46,767
Like this, this is really intriguing to me
because you said you've been doing this

341
00:14:46,767 --> 00:14:47,967
since you were 12 years old.

342
00:14:47,967 --> 00:14:48,327
Yes.

343
00:14:48,327 --> 00:14:50,388
That's gotta be a, quite a collection.

344
00:14:50,388 --> 00:14:51,308
It is for sure.

345
00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:51,748
Yeah.

346
00:14:51,748 --> 00:14:55,369
So I'm on my third volume is what I call
them volume.

347
00:14:55,369 --> 00:14:56,129
Yeah.

348
00:14:56,129 --> 00:14:56,809
And-

349
00:14:56,874 --> 00:14:58,374
I would love to get it published one day.

350
00:14:58,374 --> 00:15:02,056
So that is a little bit of a reason why I
started a podcast because I thought, Oh,

351
00:15:02,056 --> 00:15:02,356
okay.

352
00:15:02,356 --> 00:15:06,057
I'll have a podcast, build some
credibility and then publish a book and

353
00:15:06,057 --> 00:15:08,999
people will say, Oh, it's the creator of
AS for adversity.

354
00:15:08,999 --> 00:15:09,799
So I love that.

355
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:10,499
And guess what?

356
00:15:10,499 --> 00:15:13,601
I do know some book publishers so that
could, that we could definitely get that

357
00:15:13,601 --> 00:15:15,821
into the works because I'm very intrigued.

358
00:15:15,821 --> 00:15:17,082
I would love to see this book.

359
00:15:17,082 --> 00:15:19,783
I would have never asked you because I
feel like that's a personal thing.

360
00:15:19,783 --> 00:15:22,944
So for you to put that out there is that's
vulnerable.

361
00:15:22,944 --> 00:15:25,642
Like that's, that's you be putting
yourself on display.

362
00:15:25,642 --> 00:15:26,442
And we appreciate it.

363
00:15:26,442 --> 00:15:28,463
Like that's going to be amazing when that
finally comes out.

364
00:15:28,463 --> 00:15:29,243
Can't wait to see that.

365
00:15:29,243 --> 00:15:29,503
Yeah.

366
00:15:29,503 --> 00:15:32,725
I tell people sometimes that I'm an open
book.

367
00:15:32,725 --> 00:15:36,187
I really love to just, you know, share the
things that are going on.

368
00:15:36,187 --> 00:15:39,848
And I know different personalities are
different, but I was thinking that it kind

369
00:15:39,848 --> 00:15:44,611
of just depends on who knows me from what
context, because something that people may

370
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:50,653
not know about me is I also play the
violin and I have played.

371
00:15:50,934 --> 00:15:54,234
You know, I started when I was seven, I
would make musical instruments and play

372
00:15:54,234 --> 00:15:56,315
them and my mom finally got me started in
lessons.

373
00:15:56,315 --> 00:16:00,556
And so I, I did that all through high
school and it kind of feels like a past

374
00:16:00,556 --> 00:16:03,977
version of me, but you know, it's like
riding a bike, you pick it up and I really

375
00:16:03,977 --> 00:16:04,837
do love music.

376
00:16:04,837 --> 00:16:08,638
And so that's something that daybreak
residents may not know about me because it

377
00:16:08,638 --> 00:16:11,979
feels like a past life, but something I
would love to see in daybreak are

378
00:16:11,979 --> 00:16:13,060
candlelight concerts.

379
00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:14,560
Have you guys heard of those?

380
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,200
Yeah.

381
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,661
It would be so cool to get one in
daybreak.

382
00:16:16,661 --> 00:16:17,361
So, so cool.

383
00:16:17,361 --> 00:16:17,661
So cool.

384
00:16:17,661 --> 00:16:19,582
Are you going to

385
00:16:19,582 --> 00:16:22,524
Are you volunteering to be the, you're
going to play the violin for us?

386
00:16:22,524 --> 00:16:22,784
Right.

387
00:16:22,784 --> 00:16:24,225
I love, I love to.

388
00:16:24,365 --> 00:16:28,148
I, especially if it was like a quartet or
a duet type thing, you know, I feel like I

389
00:16:28,148 --> 00:16:29,609
do better in that type of situation.

390
00:16:29,609 --> 00:16:30,269
So.

391
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:31,990
Well, probably not right now.

392
00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:33,411
Cause this is, it's cold outside.

393
00:16:33,411 --> 00:16:34,592
There's, there's snow on the ground.

394
00:16:34,592 --> 00:16:36,794
Like this is, this is not the time.

395
00:16:36,794 --> 00:16:36,994
Right.

396
00:16:36,994 --> 00:16:38,555
So we're talking about maybe spring.

397
00:16:39,015 --> 00:16:40,757
They do have indoor ones too though.

398
00:16:40,757 --> 00:16:41,377
Oh, okay.

399
00:16:41,377 --> 00:16:42,137
Okay.

400
00:16:42,398 --> 00:16:42,938
We can do that.

401
00:16:42,938 --> 00:16:44,399
We could, we could probably pull that off.

402
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:44,920
Yeah.

403
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,100
Jen, what else you got for us?

404
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:47,921
You got anything else you want to share
with us?

405
00:16:48,074 --> 00:16:49,035
How do we get in touch with you?

406
00:16:49,035 --> 00:16:50,116
How do we find the show?

407
00:16:50,116 --> 00:16:50,536
Yeah.

408
00:16:50,536 --> 00:16:54,739
So it's wherever you get your podcast, but
yeah, A is for adversity.

409
00:16:54,860 --> 00:16:58,443
Something I forgot to mention too is I am
a teacher by nature.

410
00:16:58,443 --> 00:16:59,964
I, I taught second grade.

411
00:16:59,964 --> 00:17:01,266
I teach preschool currently.

412
00:17:01,266 --> 00:17:05,209
And so that's probably why the alphabet
spoke to me is, you know, that teacher in

413
00:17:05,209 --> 00:17:05,449
me.

414
00:17:05,449 --> 00:17:08,032
So, but yeah, just wherever you get your
podcasts.

415
00:17:08,032 --> 00:17:10,454
And I'd love to have you as a listener.

416
00:17:10,454 --> 00:17:10,874
Wow.

417
00:17:10,874 --> 00:17:12,055
What an interview that was.

418
00:17:12,055 --> 00:17:14,977
Jen Banks, the host of A is for adversity.

419
00:17:15,498 --> 00:17:19,760
It really is quite the feat for her, Bex,
that she did all of this herself up until

420
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:19,981
now.

421
00:17:19,981 --> 00:17:21,361
Like, it's wild.

422
00:17:21,562 --> 00:17:22,582
I don't want to take away from that.

423
00:17:22,582 --> 00:17:25,604
I really do admire the effort she's put
in.

424
00:17:25,604 --> 00:17:27,005
For this has been a couple of years of
this.

425
00:17:27,005 --> 00:17:28,767
134 episodes.

426
00:17:28,767 --> 00:17:30,788
Tomorrow, debut, season six.

427
00:17:30,788 --> 00:17:31,888
That's episode 135.

428
00:17:32,809 --> 00:17:33,510
So.

429
00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:33,850
Yes.

430
00:17:33,850 --> 00:17:36,972
I, but I can't believe that she did all
this by herself.

431
00:17:37,152 --> 00:17:41,816
Even with, she even told us, like she
said, there's times even in the episode, I

432
00:17:41,816 --> 00:17:44,790
was talking about wanting to give up and
nobody was listening.

433
00:17:44,790 --> 00:17:45,830
They're listening now, Jen.

434
00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:46,851
We listened.

435
00:17:47,031 --> 00:17:48,112
I love what she's been doing.

436
00:17:48,112 --> 00:17:50,454
Yes, I know.

437
00:17:50,454 --> 00:17:51,755
So excited for her.

438
00:17:51,755 --> 00:17:53,136
Like this is so awesome.

439
00:17:53,136 --> 00:17:57,799
And for Ride the Wave Media, super excited
for you guys and your partnership.

440
00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:00,941
All five of her seasons can be found,
right?

441
00:18:00,941 --> 00:18:02,122
Like we talked about that.

442
00:18:02,122 --> 00:18:03,403
They can now be found.

443
00:18:03,403 --> 00:18:04,964
All five of her previous seasons.

444
00:18:04,964 --> 00:18:09,728
And then tomorrow is the debut of the new
one, which is it's all about identity.

445
00:18:09,728 --> 00:18:12,126
So she's gonna talk to a variety of
different guests.

446
00:18:12,126 --> 00:18:16,169
all about the identity of basically
motherhood through the lens of adversity.

447
00:18:16,169 --> 00:18:17,730
That's kind of what her show is.

448
00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:19,091
Can't wait for that.

449
00:18:19,371 --> 00:18:21,233
And just such a great person.

450
00:18:21,233 --> 00:18:22,594
Love her, love her.

451
00:18:22,594 --> 00:18:23,815
Amazing person.

452
00:18:23,815 --> 00:18:26,917
As most of the people here that we've met
in Daybreak are.

453
00:18:26,917 --> 00:18:28,298
We all got something special going on.

454
00:18:28,298 --> 00:18:29,899
She's really got something special.

455
00:18:29,979 --> 00:18:33,782
I was behind her before we even talked for
the first time.

456
00:18:33,782 --> 00:18:35,663
Early, this was back last year.

457
00:18:35,984 --> 00:18:38,445
She contacted me and...

458
00:18:38,502 --> 00:18:42,223
I've said this before, instead of looking
at competition, she wanted to collaborate.

459
00:18:42,223 --> 00:18:45,343
And I've always said this, the people at
the bottom are competing.

460
00:18:45,343 --> 00:18:48,904
The people at the top are collaborating
and that's what we're doing here.

461
00:18:49,685 --> 00:18:50,985
Absolutely.

462
00:18:51,405 --> 00:18:51,565
Yeah.

463
00:18:51,565 --> 00:18:53,126
I was so excited about that.

464
00:18:53,126 --> 00:18:56,707
I was excited about this quote book she
talked about.

465
00:18:56,707 --> 00:18:58,647
She's been collecting quote books for
what?

466
00:18:58,647 --> 00:19:02,508
She's got multiple books of quotes that
she's been collecting forever.

467
00:19:03,369 --> 00:19:04,009
That's right.

468
00:19:04,009 --> 00:19:06,749
This reminds me of a, of a TV show.

469
00:19:07,310 --> 00:19:11,511
And there's an episode of Cheers and I
love Cheers.

470
00:19:11,511 --> 00:19:12,832
That's one of my favorite shows.

471
00:19:12,832 --> 00:19:14,633
That's one of the best that comes right
there.

472
00:19:14,633 --> 00:19:18,874
But it came from an episode of Cheers
where Diane, I don't know if you were

473
00:19:18,874 --> 00:19:20,695
familiar with Cheers, but.

474
00:19:21,436 --> 00:19:21,916
Yeah, yeah.

475
00:19:21,916 --> 00:19:22,936
Sam Alone.

476
00:19:22,936 --> 00:19:26,238
Who would want Cheers?

477
00:19:26,238 --> 00:19:27,138
When you're my age, our age.

478
00:19:27,138 --> 00:19:29,279
Yeah, like I said, it's one of the best
shows of all time.

479
00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:30,379
Most people have seen it.

480
00:19:30,379 --> 00:19:32,480
But there was one that was called One for
the Book.

481
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,361
And it was Diane went around and she had
this quote book.

482
00:19:35,441 --> 00:19:36,094
And.

483
00:19:36,094 --> 00:19:38,875
she would always hear people say stuff and
she'd write it down.

484
00:19:38,875 --> 00:19:45,498
So the big thing with this was Sam being
the egotistical maniac he was, he had to

485
00:19:45,498 --> 00:19:46,038
get in that book.

486
00:19:46,038 --> 00:19:47,999
So he kept trying to fire off.

487
00:19:48,879 --> 00:19:51,160
Oh, I think I remember this.

488
00:19:51,380 --> 00:19:55,542
If I ask her, he says, so you're telling
me I'm too dumb to be in that book.

489
00:19:55,542 --> 00:19:59,524
And Diane looks at him and says, Sam,
there are a lot of people in this book

490
00:19:59,524 --> 00:20:01,165
just as dumb as you are.

491
00:20:01,165 --> 00:20:02,505
I always loved that.

492
00:20:03,030 --> 00:20:06,372
But it made me think I was like, man,
every time I'm around Jan now, I'm going

493
00:20:06,372 --> 00:20:09,294
to try, I'm going to be trying to fire off
these quotes like Sam.

494
00:20:09,294 --> 00:20:10,575
So she'll put me in one of her books.

495
00:20:10,575 --> 00:20:11,315
Yeah.

496
00:20:12,076 --> 00:20:13,637
But you know what?

497
00:20:13,637 --> 00:20:15,838
This got me thinking about some sitcoms.

498
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,281
Okay.

499
00:20:19,281 --> 00:20:23,004
I I've seen this look and I feel like
something controversial is back to get out

500
00:20:23,004 --> 00:20:23,805
of your mouth.

501
00:20:23,805 --> 00:20:27,247
And let me tell you this, this is the
first show of the year.

502
00:20:27,387 --> 00:20:30,869
And this will be the most controversial
thing that I say all year right here.

503
00:20:32,282 --> 00:20:34,424
Um, we're only into this week one.

504
00:20:34,424 --> 00:20:37,106
This is like four days in, but this has
been the most controversial thing I say

505
00:20:37,106 --> 00:20:37,466
all year.

506
00:20:37,466 --> 00:20:40,849
Now I just said Cheers is one of the best
sitcoms of all time, but it's not the

507
00:20:40,849 --> 00:20:41,189
best.

508
00:20:41,189 --> 00:20:43,191
Okay.

509
00:20:43,191 --> 00:20:45,353
Friends is the best sitcom of all time.

510
00:20:45,353 --> 00:20:46,273
All I know is coming.

511
00:20:46,273 --> 00:20:46,954
Friends is.

512
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:49,276
And if you know anything about me, I'm a
huge fan of Friends.

513
00:20:49,276 --> 00:20:50,637
I mean, look at the titles of our
episodes.

514
00:20:50,637 --> 00:20:53,679
It's always the one with the one.

515
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,340
That's what we did.

516
00:20:54,340 --> 00:20:55,701
That's what Friends did.

517
00:20:56,041 --> 00:20:57,563
We're showing love to Friends.

518
00:20:57,563 --> 00:21:01,405
Let me talk a little bit about why Friends
is the best sitcom of all time.

519
00:21:01,718 --> 00:21:03,958
You got six friends who all sit around.

520
00:21:03,958 --> 00:21:04,639
They're hilarious.

521
00:21:04,639 --> 00:21:05,459
They're relatable.

522
00:21:05,459 --> 00:21:08,740
You got Rachel, the spoiled rich girl who
learns to make it on her own.

523
00:21:08,881 --> 00:21:14,403
You got Ross, the nerdy paleontologist who
can't get over his ex-wife's world.

524
00:21:14,403 --> 00:21:15,223
There's what?

525
00:21:15,504 --> 00:21:16,164
Yeah.

526
00:21:16,864 --> 00:21:20,326
You got Monica, the obsessive compulsive
chef who used to be fat.

527
00:21:20,326 --> 00:21:21,406
Everybody makes jokes about.

528
00:21:21,406 --> 00:21:24,107
Oh my god.

529
00:21:24,107 --> 00:21:28,229
Phoebe, quirky masseuse who sings weird
songs, smelly cat.

530
00:21:28,349 --> 00:21:29,589
That's a hit there.

531
00:21:30,974 --> 00:21:31,854
Did they want a Grammy?

532
00:21:31,854 --> 00:21:32,995
I think they had to have won a Grammy.

533
00:21:32,995 --> 00:21:38,537
You got Joey, the dim-witted actor who
loves women and food.

534
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:41,278
And then RIP, we got Chandler.

535
00:21:41,478 --> 00:21:46,840
He was a sarcastic office worker who hates
his job, but they're all relatable.

536
00:21:46,860 --> 00:21:47,901
That's the thing.

537
00:21:47,901 --> 00:21:50,722
They were always there for each other
through thick and thin, through breakups,

538
00:21:50,722 --> 00:21:54,584
makeups, births, deaths, weddings,
divorces, laughs and tears.

539
00:21:54,584 --> 00:21:56,264
They're the kind of friends we all wanted.

540
00:21:56,264 --> 00:21:57,485
Like we all wanted them.

541
00:21:57,505 --> 00:21:59,565
Second, let's talk about the humor on the
show.

542
00:21:59,570 --> 00:22:00,990
Some of the funniest jokes ever.

543
00:22:00,990 --> 00:22:03,491
Some of the best jokes you've ever
written.

544
00:22:03,491 --> 00:22:08,192
There was 10 seasons and 236 episodes and
you laughed in every single one of them.

545
00:22:08,192 --> 00:22:11,033
I wanna talk about one more thing that
makes it the best show of all time.

546
00:22:11,033 --> 00:22:12,133
Okay, let's hear it.

547
00:22:12,773 --> 00:22:13,954
That's the heart.

548
00:22:14,314 --> 00:22:15,574
It wasn't just a comedy show.

549
00:22:15,574 --> 00:22:17,194
It's not just a comedy show.

550
00:22:17,475 --> 00:22:17,875
Yep.

551
00:22:17,875 --> 00:22:21,376
It showed up and made you feel, it made
you feel happy, sad, angry, surprised,

552
00:22:21,376 --> 00:22:24,717
scared, excited, nervous and everything
else in between.

553
00:22:24,717 --> 00:22:26,357
You felt for these characters.

554
00:22:26,357 --> 00:22:27,658
They made you feel like...

555
00:22:27,658 --> 00:22:32,502
You are a part of their world, their
story, their history, their apartment.

556
00:22:32,502 --> 00:22:33,683
I mean, close your eyes right now.

557
00:22:33,683 --> 00:22:36,125
Everybody out there could close their eyes
and picture that apartment.

558
00:22:36,125 --> 00:22:37,887
The door, the door.

559
00:22:38,127 --> 00:22:38,968
So that's it.

560
00:22:38,968 --> 00:22:42,711
I just had to say, I had to put that out
there that friends is the best sitcom of

561
00:22:42,711 --> 00:22:43,072
all time.

562
00:22:43,072 --> 00:22:44,993
That's the most controversial statement.

563
00:22:46,275 --> 00:22:48,517
We'll get a lot of you to that.

564
00:22:48,517 --> 00:22:51,700
I don't quite believe that that's going to
be the most controversial thing that you

565
00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:52,580
see all year.

566
00:22:54,654 --> 00:22:55,154
We'll see.

567
00:22:55,154 --> 00:22:56,114
We'll see where it goes.

568
00:22:56,114 --> 00:22:59,315
Okay, I have to ask you, Blaine, all that
being said about Friends, right?

569
00:22:59,315 --> 00:23:02,597
Like, you know, we're huge fans of
Friends.

570
00:23:02,597 --> 00:23:04,017
Who are you most like?

571
00:23:04,017 --> 00:23:05,158
Who do you most relate to?

572
00:23:05,158 --> 00:23:06,878
You know what?

573
00:23:06,878 --> 00:23:07,639
That's a tough one.

574
00:23:07,639 --> 00:23:09,520
It's probably a mix of a couple of
characters.

575
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,200
Okay, let's hear it.

576
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,981
Honestly, I've got the quirkiness of
Phoebe.

577
00:23:14,041 --> 00:23:15,862
So it doesn't have to be the male that we
pick here.

578
00:23:15,862 --> 00:23:16,883
Or that's it.

579
00:23:16,883 --> 00:23:17,183
Yeah.

580
00:23:17,183 --> 00:23:18,403
No, no, no.

581
00:23:18,403 --> 00:23:20,384
It's a bad character.

582
00:23:20,384 --> 00:23:22,945
Got a little got a little fight in me like
a Rachel.

583
00:23:22,945 --> 00:23:24,345
So there's a little bit of.

584
00:23:24,974 --> 00:23:25,954
spiciness in there.

585
00:23:25,954 --> 00:23:27,114
Spiciness, yeah.

586
00:23:27,114 --> 00:23:33,537
And then also, I gotta say, I'd have a lot
of Joey in me and not the women aspect and

587
00:23:33,537 --> 00:23:38,380
all that, but the Joey aspect in me would
be the, I don't care.

588
00:23:38,380 --> 00:23:39,960
I'm just gonna, I'm just doing it.

589
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:40,681
I'm doing what I do.

590
00:23:40,681 --> 00:23:44,262
Just kind of roll with it and just super
chill and you know what?

591
00:23:44,262 --> 00:23:45,223
You have a big heart.

592
00:23:45,223 --> 00:23:46,163
I will say that too.

593
00:23:46,163 --> 00:23:48,884
And I feel like absolutely Joey too.

594
00:23:48,884 --> 00:23:49,845
And Ross.

595
00:23:49,845 --> 00:23:51,465
There's a little bit of that too.

596
00:23:52,002 --> 00:23:53,922
But you know what, that goes back to my
point.

597
00:23:53,922 --> 00:23:55,523
They're all so relatable.

598
00:23:55,523 --> 00:23:58,524
We all got little pieces of them in all of
us.

599
00:23:58,524 --> 00:24:00,085
Who are you most like, you think?

600
00:24:00,085 --> 00:24:01,986
I would say probably Monica.

601
00:24:03,006 --> 00:24:07,088
Cause you know, just like her OCD, her
cleanliness, her schedules.

602
00:24:07,088 --> 00:24:07,728
I was just thinking that.

603
00:24:07,728 --> 00:24:10,650
Of course, you've seen my calendar.

604
00:24:10,650 --> 00:24:11,910
You've seen my calendar, Blaine.

605
00:24:11,910 --> 00:24:13,211
You know what my schedule's like.

606
00:24:13,211 --> 00:24:17,273
So yeah, a little feistiness and you know,
fun.

607
00:24:17,273 --> 00:24:19,446
Like Rachel can kind of just.

608
00:24:19,446 --> 00:24:21,266
go with the flow a little bit that way.

609
00:24:21,266 --> 00:24:22,266
Oh yeah.

610
00:24:22,266 --> 00:24:24,647
Yeah, I would say probably the most like
them.

611
00:24:24,647 --> 00:24:25,467
I love it.

612
00:24:25,467 --> 00:24:28,048
Once again, rest in peace, Matthew Perry.

613
00:24:28,048 --> 00:24:28,968
That's so sad.

614
00:24:28,968 --> 00:24:29,668
Yes.

615
00:24:29,828 --> 00:24:34,350
Listen, on that note, if you need help
with anything, go out there and get help.

616
00:24:34,350 --> 00:24:38,771
This guy had demons just like all of us,
and he had the money to fight it, and you

617
00:24:38,771 --> 00:24:40,431
still couldn't fight it, and that's sad.

618
00:24:40,431 --> 00:24:43,532
So if you need help out there, if you know
somebody needs help, get it for them,

619
00:24:43,532 --> 00:24:44,532
please.

620
00:24:44,612 --> 00:24:48,766
You can call the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration.

621
00:24:48,766 --> 00:24:52,869
at 1-800-662-HELP, 1-800-662-4357.

622
00:24:55,972 --> 00:25:00,516
Tomorrow, A is for adversities, brand new
season with Jen Banks.

623
00:25:00,516 --> 00:25:03,459
We wanna thank her once again for coming
on the show with us.

624
00:25:03,459 --> 00:25:05,160
It's on Ride the Wave Media.

625
00:25:05,221 --> 00:25:08,203
Bex, what does Radio Daybreak have coming
up this month on Ride the Wave Media?

626
00:25:08,203 --> 00:25:09,705
We get a whole lot of stuff, right?

627
00:25:09,705 --> 00:25:10,686
We sure do, Blaine.

628
00:25:10,686 --> 00:25:12,628
We've got so much coming up this month.

629
00:25:12,628 --> 00:25:14,609
We have an interview with a witch.

630
00:25:15,022 --> 00:25:16,383
a retro gamer.

631
00:25:16,383 --> 00:25:17,203
Oh, right up my alley.

632
00:25:17,203 --> 00:25:18,364
Uh-huh.

633
00:25:18,364 --> 00:25:22,187
Next week we have the fresh King Benjamin
coming on.

634
00:25:22,388 --> 00:25:24,830
Oh, I know who he is.

635
00:25:24,830 --> 00:25:28,273
I was just going to say if you haven't
heard of him, you have to come and listen

636
00:25:28,273 --> 00:25:30,434
to this amazing, crazy story.

637
00:25:30,434 --> 00:25:35,839
He's got so much to talk about, super
fascinating, so, so much to tune in for.

638
00:25:35,839 --> 00:25:37,260
That's going to be amazing.

639
00:25:37,260 --> 00:25:42,364
I know a lot about him and me and him had
a very similar growing up, but there is a

640
00:25:42,364 --> 00:25:43,938
big time split that happens in that.

641
00:25:43,938 --> 00:25:45,801
Venn diagram that we were to cross over.

642
00:25:45,801 --> 00:25:46,924
We'll get into that.

643
00:25:46,924 --> 00:25:48,265
See you guys next week.
