Rewatch podcast and it's TV
reboot revival and the exact AI

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,320
prompts I used to turn 3 minutes
of audio into tight, powerful

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,320
32nd clip.

morning chat.
Thanks so much for being here.

14
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,080
I am your host Mark Roddick and
currently on stage with me my Co

15
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,880

Dr. Fay, Ralph Estep, Matt

16

Bliss, Sid Meadows, Jonathan
Howard and Nick Nolback And a

17
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,720
good morning to Tide AKA Nikki.
Oh, and also of course, BC

18
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,440
Babbles has joined us as well.
Today, it's Friday, so we're

19
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,360
going to, of course, wrap up
later with wins from this past

20
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,480
week.
But I do have a clip I want to

21
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,320
play.
You heard my intro, so I won't

22
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,680
repeat myself.
But before we dig into all the

23
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,560
things, I wanted to talk to
Jonathan Howard, who's on stage

24
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,920
with us.
Jonathan, 2 questions.

25
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,440
The first, how's your puppy Jack
doing?

26
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,240
How's the broken leg?
You.

27
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,560
I know you.
I don't know if you shared this

28
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,680
on the show or not.
I know you shared it with the

29
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,920
team.
I can't remember, but I know

30
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,960
Jack broke his leg recently, so
I wanted to get an update from

31
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,120
you.
Jack broke his leg recently on

32
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,360
Tuesday night.
Yesterday he went into surgery.

33
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,160
The surgery went really, really
well.

34
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,120
So I should be able to pick him
up today and bring him home.

35
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,000
He'll have a little cast on, but
he's going to The Walking again

36
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720
in two to three weeks, which is
much better than the 12 weeks.

37
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,080
Originally they had said, yeah,
that would have been tough.

38
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,280
Yeah, Especially for you to deal
with that because little puppies

39
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,920
need to get their their exercise
and get their energy out.

40
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:53,240
So they.
Yes.

41
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,120
Wow.
And did I see you say he broke

42
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,720
it in two places?
And how did he break it?

43
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,760
He broke it in two places.
He jumped off the bed after his

44
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,840
brother jumped off the bed.
His brother's a 55 LB pit bull.

45
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,040
Yeah, he's not.
He jumped and he just landed

46
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,240
wrong and broke.
Yeah, his two.

47
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Bones right at the bottom right
between the ankle and the knee.

48
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,760
Poor guy.
But I'm glad things are going

49
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,920
well.
And actually, Jonathan, the

50
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:25,760
second question while I have you
is would you be willing to

51
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,720
share?
Next week we're going to do

52
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,240
another obsession worthy
podcast.

53
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,200
Do you want to share what we're
going to do with that on Monday?

54
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Do you want to share what that
podcast is and what we'll be

55
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,800
digging into?
I will share what that podcast

56
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,160
is, which is no, no such thing
as a fish.

57
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,000
It's kind of a humorous podcast
from from over across the pond

58
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,880
and it should be an interesting
look at another obsession worthy

59
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,760
podcast.
Awesome.

60
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,320
We will put a link in the show
notes.

61
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,400
So check that out if you want to
play along.

62
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,560
But we, as we always do, if
you're new to our that

63
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,600
particular series, we'll have
plenty of clips to play so that

64
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,600
you'll have plenty of context
when you're listening to our

65
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:14,320
breakdown of why that podcast
and episode is so popular with

66
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,880
podcast listeners.
So stay tuned for that.

67
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,079
Also, Ralph, how's your wife
doing?

68
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:22,000
I know you gave us an update
yesterday.

69
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,440
How is she feeling?
My wife is tough as nails mark

70
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,160
so two days out from abdominal
surgery.

71
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,960
Tylenol only and she's running
around the house with her Walker

72
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,280
and I keep on telling her grab
your Walker before you start

73
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:37,880
moving.
So yeah, she's it's hard to keep

74
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,720
a good woman down.
So thank you everybody for the

75
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,200
support.
She really appreciates it.

76
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,320
Absolutely.
I'm glad she's doing OK.

77
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,000
All right, so with that, I want
to get into this clip.

78
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,280
I this actually, I was
scrambling this morning to put

79
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,400
all of this together last night
probably, I don't know, around

80
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,880
9:00 was doing just a tad of
doom scrolling as they say, and

81
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,880
I came across one of my favorite
creators, pop culture Brain.

82
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,120
He does a wonderful job of
breaking down all things pop

83
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,000
culture, you know, and it can be
anything, movies, TV shows,

84
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,200
etcetera.
This clip was or this reel that

85
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:27,320
he did was on the Scrubs TV show
reboot that officially launched

86
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,520
this week.
I I was a big fan of the

87
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,160
original series and it launched
with two new episodes on

88
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,920
Wednesday.
I absolutely loved it.

89
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,880
It cracked me up all the way
through.

90
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,640
I thought they did a wonderful
job of recapturing the magic,

91
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,840
pushing the narrative forward.
It was just a wonderful job.

92
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:54,000
If you've ever seen Scrubs and
haven't seen the reboot yet, I

93
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,120
strongly encourage it.
So when I saw the clip, I

94
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,640
clearly wanted to stop and
listen to what he had to say.

95
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,920
And right towards the end,
podcasting made its appearance

96
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,760
in his breakdown.
So I want to share that with you

97
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,280
and then I want to discuss this
further.

98
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,400
So without further ado, here is
that clip from.

99
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,760
Pop culture brain Scrubs is my
favorite show of all time and I

100
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,960
am blown away by how good this
sequel series is.

101
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,560
I watched the 1st 2 episodes of
Scrubs season 10.

102
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,880
So here's the good and the bad
without spoilers.

103
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,800
First, the big.
Question how did they address

104
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,760
the failed 9th season?
And the answer is they didn't.

105
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,800
They flat out ignored everything
from that ninth season.

106
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,640
Which was definitely the right
move in recapturing the original

107
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,680
essence.
Of the show, they nailed that

108
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,240
tricky tonal balance.
The episodes were funny but

109
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,720
never too absurd, and the drama
was spot on.

110
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,920
All in all, I was thrilled by
these new episodes.

111
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,000
Zach Braff and Donald Faison did
a Scrubs rewatch podcast from

112
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,600
2020 to 2025, and having seen
these new episodes, I think

113
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,480
every actor rebooting an old
show should have to do that.

114
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Because Zach and Donald spent
hundreds of hours analyzing what

115
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,560
worked and what didn't about the
series while hearing feedback

116
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,800
from fans, and I think that
turned out to be essential.

117
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,440
In recapturing the magic I.
Really found that fascinating.

118
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,080
I hadn't even put those two
things together because I knew

119
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,560
they did that rewatch podcast,
but I really thought that that

120
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,080
was a fascinating observation
that pop culture brain made.

121
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,640
If you think about it, these are
the two stars of the show

122
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,800
they've been talking about every
single episode for five years

123
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,720
now.
And you've got to think that

124
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,400
that plays a role in, I know
they're not their actual

125
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,520
writers, but I'm sure they have
a lot of influence on the show

126
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:46,080
and it would probably, and I
think did affect how they

127
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,640
reprised their roles.
So I thought that was really

128
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,640
cool.
By the way, in in a moment after

129
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,880
we talked a little bit about
these rewatch podcast, that clip

130
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,160
was originally 3 minutes.
And I told you earlier I was

131
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,120
scrambling to get today's show
prepared this morning.

132
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:09,480
And I managed in just literally
probably 3 to 5 minutes, managed

133
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,560
to take the three minute clip
and break it into that 30 to

134
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,560
42nd clip.
And I'm going to tell you

135
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,240
exactly how I did that in a
moment.

136
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,760
But first, what do you guys
think?

137
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,200
Do you agree?
Did Zach and Donald essentially

138
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,320
reverse engineer their own
success?

139
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,760
And I know there are a lot of
rewatch podcasts out there.

140
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,400
So should more legacy shows
require this kind of reflection

141
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,600
before going into a reboot?
Because look, whether you like

142
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,240
it or not, reboots is definite.
They're definitely a thing.

143
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,600
And some people don't like it.
They say, oh, it's not creative

144
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,640
anymore, we're doing that.
But it is a thing.

145
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,720
And people seem to gravitate to
those reboots.

146
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,360
So yeah, first, what do you
think?

147
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,520
Do you think more legacy shows
should require this kind of

148
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,080
thing?
Yeah, Dr., go ahead.

149
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,840
I don't know about requiring,
but I will say that the Office

150
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,160
Ladies kind of put the rewatch
on the map because they have won

151
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,600
awards over and over and over
again for the office rewatch

152
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,960
called Office Ladies.
And there's it's spectacular

153
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,160
because you hear all the
backstage stuff.

154
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,840
What was going on?
Who read for a part but didn't

155
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,520
get it?
You know, you hear all that

156
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,800
stuff and it's great.
And I loved the reboot of

157
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,160
Scrubs.
It was very funny, very great.

158
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,840
I really loved it.
I have not tuned into the

159
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,600
podcast yet, but after today I
think I might.

160
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,080
I highly recommend that and
Matthew has something.

161
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,840
Go ahead, Matt.
I haven't watched the new reboot

162
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,960
yet, but it makes me think of a
few others that have done

163
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,520
similar things.
I think mostly due to pandemic

164
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,360
stuff as well.
I know that Community has had a

165
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,880
bit of content developed on the
side of it to discuss things,

166
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,640
but Community wasn't hasn't been
lucky enough to have a less

167
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,600
turbulent development journey
that Scrubs did.

168
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,840
Admittedly it's in different
time zones and stuff in terms of

169
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,760
their development, but I think
the scrub stuff is an

170
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,360
interesting case because for
those that aren't aware, Scrubs

171
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,360
season 8 had an end.
They finished the show and I

172
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,480
think at the time it was CBSI
think or NBC or something wanted

173
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,040
them to make another season.
So they did and it sucked.

174
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,920
And so it makes sense that they
they ignored it completely even

175
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,320
though the characters were
involved in it.

176
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,400
But whether doing a rewatch
podcast as research makes sense,

177
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:48,040
I think it has to be a very
unique case where that happens

178
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:54,400
because Scrubs is ideally set up
because not only did the series

179
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,120
hold up for so long, did two of
the main characters in the show

180
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,680
create a relationship outside
the show as well as inside of

181
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:05,160
the show.
Also, the person who created it

182
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,400
and directed it has also been
part of that podcast to a

183
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,520
degree, I think.
And not only has that director,

184
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,680
but also the people surrounding
the show have continued onto not

185
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:18,560
bigger and better, but similar
projects that mean they're still

186
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:22,720
floating in the space to where a
reboot is a possibility and the

187
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,000
fandom is a possibility.
A contrary case might be

188
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,760
Firefly, which is a show that
was cancelled after season 1 and

189
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:35,840
yet for the last 10 to 20 years
has had a a massive fandom where

190
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,680
people want it back, but it's so
far down the line now that they

191
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:43,240
can't reboot it because it has a
rich kind of story outside of

192
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,360
the show.
And the closest you get to it is

193
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,400
Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk
starting their podcast this year

194
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,880
called Once We Were Spacemen,
where it's them telling their

195
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,360
stories, sometimes interviewing
people from Firefly, but how

196
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,320
their relationship started with
Firefly and kind of filters

197
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,800
around the rest of the industry.
All that is to say, I think

198
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,320
Scrubs is a very unique case in
this instance.

199
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,240
Not all of them have such
turbulent development processes.

200
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,080
I don't know what am I trying to
say.

201
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,200
I hear what you're saying and I
agree to a degree.

202
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,080
I think that there is something
to be said about these rewatch

203
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:28,080
podcasts, especially when they
are hosted by the actual players

204
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,960
of that show that they are
rewatching.

205
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,120
I think that they're it brings a
lot of value if they were to

206
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,400
actually bring it back because
like pop culture brain was

207
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,680
saying, they spent five years
breaking down these shows and

208
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:47,920
and sharing what worked, what
they thought worked and what

209
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,880
didn't work.
And I've got to believe that

210
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,920
that does play a factor in a
reboot to really come back

211
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,600
strong and polished.
I do hear what you're saying.

212
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,080
I mean there is some things,
some factors, additional factors

213
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,200
here like the fact that those
two have a chemistry both on and

214
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,160
off screen.
And I think that does play a

215
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,640
huge role in some of this
success for with the reboot.

216
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,160
I hear that loud and clear BC
you wanted to add something as

217
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:14,760
well.
Go ahead.

218
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,880
I'm not a Scrubs person.
I, I was a very different genre

219
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,840
kind of kid growing up.
I was more the supernatural

220
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,080
drama.
So you would find me bingeing

221
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Buffy, you know, Charmed and
stuff like that.

222
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,960
But we've seen reboots of those
shows as well recently in the

223
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,680
past few years.
And the only one between shows

224
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:39,480
I've seen the original iteration
of and then the reboot that I

225
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:44,080
actually found myself enjoying
was, you know, we had the the

226
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,400
Melissa Joan Hart comedy
Sabrina, the Teenage Witch in

227
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,280
the 90s, early 2000s.
But then Netflix launched The

228
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,560
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
several years ago, and it was a

229
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:58,320
hugely different genre take.
It wasn't a comedy.

230
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,480
There was some comedy in there
for sure, but it was much more

231
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,200
of a dark horror spin, more
alluding to the Archie comics

232
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,080
that the characters based off
of.

233
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,880
And that's the only one I've
seen where I really enjoyed the

234
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,920
reboot, whereas the charm reboot
that came out back in 201617

235
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,680
interesting start and they had a
lot of opportunities to really

236
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,920
take in the new millennia and
put some new spins into it.

237
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:32,080
But I got to say by like season
3 and four, I'm not mad that it

238
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,480
was cancelled.
The writing had really gone out

239
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,360
the window and granted Sanford
Sabrina by the by season 4 and

240
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,280
what not, the writing had gone
out the window.

241
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,720
And I think both somewhat
coincide with the writers strike

242
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,040
that was happening back at the
time too.

243
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,920
But I'm just like, you know
what?

244
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,960
It's just not, it's just not
working.

245
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:55,080
I just so I wonder if part of
the formula has to be because I

246
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,880
did enjoy the first two seasons
of Sabrina.

247
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,560
I wonder if the approach has to
be scrape most the layers off of

248
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:08,160
the original iteration and then
find a a really new spin on the

249
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,360
original core concept.
And that way you're not trying

250
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,160
to reiterate too many of the
same thing that probably were as

251
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,520
successful as they were because
they were a special product of

252
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:24,400
the time as opposed to decades
later and find just a a new

253
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,000
identity for the core concept.
And that being said, I I have

254
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,280
enjoyed the spin off podcast
I've seen from state charm.

255
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,760
Do you know Holly Marie Combs,
Brian Krause and Drew Fuller

256
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,880
have had a podcast out for years
discussing and rewatching the

257
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,840
show.
Charisma Carpenter from Buffy

258
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,600
the Vampire Slayer has had her
own show out in Apologies for

259
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,480
the title.
It's called The Bitches Back,

260
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,560
which is a big line from her
character on the show.

261
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,480
And those have been great to
watch because they they've been

262
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,760
like Dr. said with the other.
So talking about the behind the

263
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,080
scenes stuff, how things
occurred, the things we didn't

264
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,400
know about until now.
But yeah, the reboot stuff is,

265
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,040
is hard, hard I think to to
anticipate regarding quality and

266
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760
whether or not it should be a
continued practice.

267
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:14,040
You know, when Yellowstone was
in its huge heyday, I got

268
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,600
totally involved in Yellowstone,
but they took a huge break in

269
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,560
between seasons.
It was like, I think it was like

270
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,480
2 years.
This would have been a perfect

271
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,240
thing to do during those two
years.

272
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,000
I was doing some kind of rewatch
podcast in between.

273
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,040
Yeah, because after the 2, the
two years, I was like, screw

274
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,720
you, I don't even wanna hear you
anymore.

275
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,520
I'm, I've gone on to something
else.

276
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,400
Uh huh.
This would have been a perfect

277
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,280
thing for them to do.
Yeah, and a good lesson, I mean,

278
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,880
and maybe no surprise to our
regular listeners, but that's

279
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,360
something that we encourage,
right?

280
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,360
If you're going to take a break
from your podcast, what else can

281
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,800
you do for your audience in the
meantime?

282
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,400
What to to keep yourself
relevant and to keep you front

283
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,200
and center in their minds so
that they don't lose interest or

284
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,079
get angry about the fact that
you've been gone so long?

285
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:11,560
So yeah, something like that
would make a lot of sense, I

286
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,040
think.
For sure.

287
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,440
I think Matthew Matthew might
have just gotten his point.

288
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,680
Go ahead, Matthew, Madam, but
OK, go ahead.

289
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,400
Sorry, I feel like I'm stepping
on someone else's toes now.

290
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,440
No, go ahead.
The thing that I was going to

291
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,880
mention is that to your point,
Mark, I think they're starting

292
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:33,120
to close the gap, not just on
the effectiveness of podcasts as

293
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:37,560
a reflection of how a show went,
but the HBO has always been

294
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,120
prolific with creating partner
content to shows they release.

295
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,400
My primary example is always The
Last of Us.

296
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,200
I've the first two seasons that
they've made so far, as always

297
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:54,200
had Troy Baker, who played Joel
in the video game, and the two

298
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,880
directors at the time, one that
also directed the video game,

299
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,920
just unpacking the episodes as
they came out.

300
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:04,640
And those episodes would come
out in the same cadence as the

301
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,000
TV show came out.
So it's not the same as you're

302
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,800
talking about with Scrubs here,
but they have the opportunity to

303
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,160
leverage any kind of feedback
and discussion they have in

304
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,520
those podcast episodes for
future seasons as well, even if

305
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,440
it's not a reboot.
So yeah.

306
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,800
Yeah.
Thank you, Matt.

307
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,160
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, HBO really does do a

308
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,200
fantastic job of those
companion, the companion

309
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,920
content.
I'm with you there.

310
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,800
And Ralph also wants to chime
in.

311
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,080
Go for it, Ralph.
Yeah, I just wanted to say I

312
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,840
think there's a huge take away
for all of us here, and that is

313
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,120
nostalgia works.
And when you're doing content

314
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:44,240
creation, if you can build
nostalgia into things, I think

315
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,920
it just attracts that audience,
esecially when you understand

316
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,360
who your audience is.
Go find some of the nostalgia

317
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:53,040
that would be relevant to them.
I look at the people on the

318
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,280
screen here.
A lot of us are in the in the in

319
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,560
the little bit mid range of age
and we know the things that

320
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,640
would be attracted to us.
In fact, it's funny, Mark and I

321
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,480
were having a conversation
yesterday.

322
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,480
We were talking about video
calls and him and how we're

323
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,760
recollecting back when we were
kids and we thought it would be

324
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,600
so cool if you'd be able to make
a video call.

325
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,360
And he was telling me about his
trip to Sharper image and all

326
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,840
that kind of stuff.
And because we all realize that

327
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,800
that goes back to something
inside of us.

328
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,440
And I think that's what these
shows are really attempting to

329
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,600
do.
And I think we all can learn

330
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,200
from that.
And that is use nostalgia to

331
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,800
your benefit because the the the
same things that you've

332
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,760
experienced, your audience has
experienced also.

333
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,640
Great point, Ralph, and this is
a little bit Meadow or maybe

334
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,560
it's a little bit of a stretch.
I'm not sure.

335
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,640
But this whole idea of the fact
that Scrubs, they did their

336
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,760
rewatch series for five years
over the past five years, and

337
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,040
how I do believe and agree with
Pop Culture Brain that that I

338
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,680
think does play a role in the
success of this reboot series.

339
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,840
But what if we treated our
podcasts the same way?

340
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,560
What if instead of constantly
chasing the next episode, we

341
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,240
spent time analyzing what
actually worked, right?

342
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,680
So I know that's a little bit of
a stretch from what we're

343
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,000
talking about here, but I think
that so many of us get so

344
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,760
focused on.
OK, what's going to the next

345
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,240
episode?
And we got to make the next

346
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,720
episode even better than the
last, but that we don't spend

347
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,800
enough time actually going back,
listening to it, analyzing it

348
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:25,440
and figuring out what worked and
what doesn't.

349
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:30,520
And yes, of course our audience
helps navigate that.

350
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,080
But at the same time, these are
our shows, and I think it's

351
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,400
important for us to decide at
times what we think is working

352
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,080
well for the show and what
isn't.

353
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,080
We have to enjoy what we're
doing, but I think it is

354
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,560
important to to go back and
really listen.

355
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,320
And if you're somebody who is
taking off and you're having an

356
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,440
offseason, I think that's a
wonderful opportunity to go back

357
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,400
and listen.
I think we have to get past at

358
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,000
least some of us have to get
past the idea of, oh, I can't

359
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,960
listen to myself talk.
Well, I think it's important

360
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,760
that you do.
I think you have to get past

361
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,920
that because I think that the
best way I've learned how to

362
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,480
improve is going back and re
watching, re listening the

363
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,040
content that I've put out there.
Dude don't tell me to re listen

364
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,520
to my stuff.
This is boring.

365
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,720
I mean, it's it makes me crane
like, who is this guy?

366
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:30,480
That's, by the way, if you
didn't recognize, that's Janae

367
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,480
joining us over on the video
live stream.

368
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,240
Yeah, I know.
I get it, Janae.

369
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,520
That's what I'm saying is people
kind of feel it's cringy to go

370
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,200
back and listen.
But I really think that there's

371
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,080
something to that.
I think that's the way that we

372
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,360
learn from our content creation.
Go ahead, Ralph.

373
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,760
Yeah.
I just wanted to reiterate on

374
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,240
that because I work with a
speaking coach.

375
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,160
I've been working for about the
last month and whenever I create

376
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,320
content, I send it to her.
And we had our meeting yesterday

377
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,160
and we listened to it together
and she goes, you know, you

378
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,200
could do this here, you could do
this there.

379
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,960
And I have learned more in the
last 30 days going back and

380
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,280
reviewing what I'm doing.
I mean, she's looking at video

381
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,480
stuff, she's looking at audio
stuff and just nuanced stuff

382
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,920
like slowing down when I talk,
taking that pause.

383
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,760
And I'm going to tell you, if
you don't go back and listen to

384
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,720
your stuff, you don't go back
and look at what you're doing.

385
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,880
You don't see those things.
And so that's where somebody

386
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,840
like Mark who does that kind of
coaching for you with your

387
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,520
content would be a great
connection to make because you

388
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,720
need to sit down with somebody
because you may not even see it

389
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,760
if you do it yourself.
You've got to get one-on-one and

390
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,080
go and analyze what you're doing
because if you want to do

391
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,440
better, it takes practice and it
takes reflection.

392
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,640
And that's one things I heard
you say in there, Mark, is that

393
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,080
analyzation.
A lot of people say, I'm just

394
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,960
going to put it out there.
I don't ever listen to it.

395
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,840
I think that's a huge mistake.
I'm not saying I honestly think

396
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,720
you should listen to everything
that goes out, because I think

397
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,640
sometimes stuff goes out.
You're like, man, if I change

398
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:54,560
that a little bit, it'd be
better.

399
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,200
But Mark, I just want to trumpet
what you said because I think

400
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,760
you've got to analyze what's out
there and really critically

401
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,640
review it.
Ask other people to sit in with

402
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,320
you, you know, have a listener
party, for lack of a better

403
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,720
term.
I think that's a great idea.

404
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,760
Thank you, Ralph.
Appreciate that.

405
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,520
Matt, did you want to chime in?
Just to say that if you make a

406
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,720
show and you don't want to
listen to it, then maybe that

407
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,160
tells you a bit more about the
show that you're making.

408
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,840
Yes, and actually I'm going to
give you a Ding on that one.

409
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,040
I think that's a excellent
point.

410
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,040
Thank you, Matt, anyone else
want to chime in?

411
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,040
No, Alex, someone that actually
reviews shows and does this.

412
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,800
I just actually guessed it.
And to The Walking Dead, it

413
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,920
they're doing a rewatch and you
do get a lot more perspective in

414
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,400
terms of, you know, what
happened, where you're going and

415
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,120
how it all fits.
And I think that's why binge

416
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:56,600
watching is so popular now,
because you forget and we have

417
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,240
to wait that week or that year
or whatever else.

418
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,800
And you can you just forget all
the nuances of the show again,

419
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,480
Walking Dead or you know, I know
a lot of people watch The West

420
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,000
Wing a lot, whatever it is, but
people will be analysing the

421
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,240
fact that they did a Scrubs
rewatch is, you know, to some

422
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,160
people is kind of like why?
But for a lot of people, that's

423
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,520
really important to them.
The other thing to say, if

424
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,720
you're looking to become a
better speaker, you can get a

425
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,960
coach.
You can do all those other

426
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,680
things.
You can also try to find places

427
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,920
like Toastmasters, which I know
might seem like not a normal

428
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,200
thing, but these are people.
They want you to speak.

429
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,160
It's for people that are nervous
or trying to work out their way

430
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,680
of speaking.
And you get evaluated every

431
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,160
week.
There are a lot of opportunities

432
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,920
that people can do and the best
thing you can do is to edit

433
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,120
yourself.
Once you edit yourself, you find

434
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:58,480
out how many umms and Ahs and
whatever else and you, you, you

435
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,400
kind of self edit as you go.
Thank you, Alex, appreciate that

436
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,280
take.
And yeah, that reminded me go

437
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:10,160
check out Riverside's Instagram.
They just put out a clip.

438
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,840
Maybe it was yesterday, but it
was very recently.

439
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,920
They put out a clip that and it
was of call her Daddy and she

440
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,040
had Hilary Duff as a guest.
And the entire clip were the two

441
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,920
of them just saying like,
because you know, Riverside

442
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,560
takes out the the filler words.
And so it's like 30 seconds of

443
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,880
like, like, like, like, like,
like, like, like, like.

444
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:37,120
And it cracked me up that that
just reminded me that of that.

445
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:40,800
Thank you, Alex and Ashley, I
want to come to you because you

446
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,240
just put something in the chat
that I think is important to

447
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,520
highlight.
Would you mind sharing out loud?

448
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,600
That was sort of to echo what
Ralph was saying is, you know, I

449
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:54,000
used to play 5-6 nights a week
live everywhere and I had a

450
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,480
portable audio recorder even
back then.

451
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,320
And I would record my set and
I'd even record the video at

452
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,080
some point.
And on the way home I'd usually

453
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,800
have at least an hour drive
home.

454
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,360
I had listened to my set and I
would self critique and you

455
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:13,160
know, sometimes it was really
hard to listen to, but I learned

456
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,320
a lot by listening to those.
Thank you for sharing that.

457
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,800
Because that's the rub for me
when podcasters say, oh, no way,

458
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,800
I can't go back and listen, You
know, I feel like there's such a

459
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:30,160
correlation, such a tie between
musicians and podcasters, right?

460
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,160
And I think it's so important.
Like the musicians, generally

461
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,080
speaking, all the ones that I
know anyway, in my experience,

462
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,400
they don't shy away from going
back and listening to what

463
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,760
they're what they're recording
because they want to improve

464
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,160
upon it.
They want it to sound exactly

465
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,120
the way that it's happening in
their heads, right.

466
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:52,640
So why do we as podcasters think
that we get this pass that, oh,

467
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,440
we don't have to go back and
listen?

468
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,920
I think that's a wonderful
point.

469
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,440
And Nick wants to chime in as
well.

470
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,360
Go ahead, Nick.
The not wanting to go back.

471
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:02,080
And listen, at least for me,
having.

472
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,200
Been the 1 editing all my
podcasts is that I've already

473
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,400
listened to the episode
countless number of times as I'm

474
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,960
going through the editing
process.

475
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:17,280
So the the want to go back and
then listen yet again to the

476
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,080
episode It it just kind of like
I'm over it at that point.

477
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,400
Not that I don't pull stuff away
from it throughout the editing

478
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,840
process, but going back and
listening to it after I've

479
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,400
listened to it 5 plus times to
the editing process, I'm just

480
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,520
kind of.
Worn out by it.

481
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,480
That's fair.
And let me ask Ashley.

482
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,160
Ashley, so you, you know, we
clearly know that you go back

483
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,960
and you keep listening, tweaking
to you, to your music.

484
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,440
But does that mean once the
final product is done and out

485
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,200
the door, you don't listen to it
from at least once from start to

486
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,960
finish?
Oh, not at all.

487
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,960
Because the guy that produced my
record, Dave, he says, you know,

488
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,400
we could always do another mix.
So sometimes I go through and I

489
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,080
listen to my album again and I
make notes and you know, if I

490
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,320
ever did want to re release the
record, I would have those notes

491
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,720
to give to Dave and we can
implement those things.

492
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,160
I get it, Nick, like because I
have felt the same way at times

493
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,720
when I do those kinds of things.
But ultimately, I think we're

494
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,880
doing ourselves a disservice by
not going back and listening to

495
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,000
the finished, polished product.
And again, like, to Janae's

496
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,480
point, too, like, I get it.
It feels cringy.

497
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,640
It feels annoying.
You don't want to go back and

498
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,080
have to listen again.
But I do think we learned

499
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,560
something by listening to
whatever we've deemed as the

500
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,960
final product.
And much to Ashley's point,

501
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,640
yeah, I mean, we could always go
back and Polish more, Polish

502
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,360
more.
But once you've actually put

503
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,880
that stamp out, put it out for
the world to hear, I think it is

504
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,160
important to go back and listen.
Absolutely.

505
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,760
And I totally agree, Mark.
Now I was making a joke my first

506
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,360
season, right?
It's it's hard to listen to, but

507
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,080
every once in a while I'll go
back and listen to like season 4

508
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,920
and three.
I'm like, wow, I sounded really

509
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:02,440
smart in there.
Maybe I did some work.

510
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,320
And you know, we we mentioned
comedians, podcasters,

511
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,640
musicians, they listen to this
stuff.

512
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,400
But if you look at literally
every single aspect of humanity,

513
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,560
football players, basketball
players, they look at their

514
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,880
reels like, hey, what did we do
wrong?

515
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,280
Right?
Because that's the only way to

516
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,720
get to that Olympic levels.
And yeah, you've got to know

517
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,800
what you're doing wrong so that
you can fix it.

518
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,280
Absolutely.
Thank you, Janae.

519
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,120
I'm going to go to Dr. and then
Matt.

520
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:37,480
And then I want to tell you how
I turned that 32nd clip from a 3

521
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,880
minute clip in a matter of
minutes.

522
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,320
I want to share how I did that
with ChatGPT.

523
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,640
But first, go ahead Dr. Well, I
want to rewind it back to when

524
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,040
we were talking about binging,
binging episodes.

525
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:59,240
I am a huge fan of the Traitors
huge, all the alliterations of

526
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,280
it, the UK version, the
Australian version, the I mean

527
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,040
all anything.
That's if it's in English, I'm

528
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,880
on it.
And the problem is, is that I

529
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:16,840
wait until the very last episode
to be shown to air and then I go

530
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,960
in so I can binge the whole
thing.

531
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,880
The biggest problem I have is
staying away from all the, you

532
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,960
know, the, the stuff that comes
up on my feed about it.

533
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,560
I don't want any spoilers.
I don't want to know who got

534
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,480
voted off.
I don't want to know that that's

535
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,880
my biggest problem.
But I am a binger.

536
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,320
That's fair.
Matt, you want to chime in, go

537
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,200
ahead.
If you don't re listen to the

538
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,600
podcast episodes you do and you
don't see your improvement, I

539
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,680
think you lose an opportunity to
fall in love with how your voice

540
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,040
sounds.
And I think every podcaster goes

541
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,640
on this journey but never gets
as far as enjoying when they're

542
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,000
on an episode.
And you might call it ego, you

543
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,160
might call it, you know,
genetics, whatever.

544
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,280
But sometimes I'll listen to an
episode of my podcast and I'll

545
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,720
go, oh, oh, who's that handsome
man talking?

546
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,640
Yeah, he said I'd listen to him.
And you, you, you get to that

547
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,320
stage.
And I think people feel bad

548
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,800
about getting there and enjoying
it potentially.

549
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,360
But there's a stage you get to
where you're just like, you know

550
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,240
what, I nailed that, and I sound
amazing.

551
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,720
This person sounds great, too.
But you know, they come for me,

552
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,120
right?
Your ego helps.

553
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,800
Yeah.
It does and great point too,

554
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,640
Matthew.
Thank you and and by the way,

555
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:39,280
Ralph had quoted you in our live
stream public chat over, you

556
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,120
know, on YouTube and the other
platforms.

557
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,560
Really appreciating your quote.
Where is it?

558
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,560
Here you go.
If you aren't willing to listen

559
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,640
to your content, maybe you need
to rethink releasing it to your

560
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,280
audience.
I think that is a yeah worth

561
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,480
repeating for sure.
Thank you for sharing that

562
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,120
again, Ralph BC did you want to
chime in?

563
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,240
Yeah, Quick note on on The Voice
and when we approach podcasting,

564
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,680
I think, and I've talked about
this myself numerous times, I

565
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,440
think a common misconception for
new podcasters is that they

566
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,360
think they have to sound like
they belong on the mic.

567
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,480
And I think it's really
important to point out that it's

568
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:21,040
not about trying to perform when
you're on a podcast.

569
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,560
And I come from my background
with broadcasting.

570
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,920
The first time I ever hit a mic,
I was on my College Station.

571
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,240
The format was alt rock.
So I thought, OK, I got to come

572
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,920
on to this thing.
I got to sound like I'm, I'm a

573
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,920
rock jock, Wolfman Jack.
I'm not Wolfman Jack kind of,

574
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,920
you know, approach to this.
And even though the sound I

575
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,520
created with my voice may have
seemed like it was within that

576
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,480
stereotypical, oh, this is the
kind of sound I should have kind

577
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,680
of thing, I eventually realized
it was not a natural sound and

578
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,480
it was actually painful to do
and sustained for a while.

579
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:59,640
I eventually realized I have to
figure out what my natural case

580
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,040
is.
My natural pace is how do I talk

581
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,600
amongst my friends, How do I in
the situations where there's no

582
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:12,120
demand for over exertion, over
projection, you know, weird

583
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,800
pacing patterns.
And once you figure that out and

584
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,520
then you approach the vocal
aspect of podcasting, you really

585
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,760
find a sound that gives you a
lot of bang for your buck.

586
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,640
And that's where you should
approach it from.

587
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,760
And eventually you end up
sounding like Mark, who has this

588
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:33,440
radio quality voice anyway.
And it's not an unnatural

589
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,320
technique, it's a natural
technique that is polished over

590
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,880
time.
Thank you BC, and thank you for

591
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,760
the compliment.
I know I've said this before,

592
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,520
but I am one of those people
that don't believe I have a

593
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,080
radio voice.
And people tell me that like,

594
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,920
oh, Mark, yeah, you're natural
for this.

595
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,360
You have such a radio voice and
I always cock my head and again,

596
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,640
that is because I used to work
with radio people and AI used to

597
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,120
judge myself against their
voices and B, they weren't the

598
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,160
kindest people and they used to
tease me that I didn't have a

599
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,000
good radio voice.
So that just made me believe

600
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,960
that after overtime.
But I appreciate hearing that it

601
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,920
it helps reinforce and and give
me a little more confidence when

602
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,679
I get on the mic.
So thank you for saying that and

603
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,159
excellent points as well BC.
Mark, I just wanted to interrupt

604
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:23,520
something because Dave in the
clubhouse chat made a brilliant

605
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,960
observation.
As he, as he often does.

606
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Yeah, and I'm looking at you as
you talk.

607
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,719
And Dave said you can tell when
someone is comfortable on the

608
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,159
mic.
Be sure to smile when you

609
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:35,280
record.
You can hear a smile. 100% Dave,

610
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,480
100% correct.
I'm looking at Mark right now.

611
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,040
When Mark is talking, he's
smiling.

612
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:40,960
I'm looking at Junaid, he's
smiling.

613
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,840
BC is smiling.
Dr. is smiling.

614
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,360
It's an absolute truth if you
take nothing away from today

615
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,639
besides all the beautiful things
when you're recording.

616
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,199
Smile.
You know, that is going, it's

617
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:54,040
going to come through.
I used to work for a credit

618
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,080
union.
I was the executive vice

619
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,040
president of credit union.
I told all my tellers, smile

620
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,120
when you're calling somebody on
the phone.

621
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,880
Smile through the phone.
Dave, great comment.

622
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,840
Thank you so much for adding
that to the show today.

623
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,040
That is a brilliant observation.
Yep, absolutely.

624
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:12,720
What?
I'm not a smiler like you.

625
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:19,440
Were saying that you were among
other radio producers, radio

626
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:25,520
people, people that told you
that you're not good enough and

627
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,640
that that's something that we
need to take away from somebody

628
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,640
mentioned earlier about
Toastmasters.

629
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,720
You know going to these events,
going to communities that are

630
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:36,640
actually encouraging you,
they're uplifting you, they're

631
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,840
supporting you so that even if
you feel down, guess what you

632
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,360
have other cheerleaders cheering
you up.

633
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,920
And that's why I love coming to
podcasting morning time, because

634
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,120
I know these people are looking
out for me.

635
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,520
And so find a community that
works for you.

636
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,600
Find a community that uplifts
you because you're not going to

637
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,200
go too far if, if people are
always, you know, breaking you

638
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,000
down, if people are always out
to get you.

639
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,920
And that's the, that's the
problem with the entire world.

640
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,440
The Hollywood's like, oh, they
ought to get you.

641
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,560
They ought to get you.
But the fact of the matter is

642
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:16,000
it's only the top people that
are doing that and not, not from

643
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,600
the perspective of the
executives because they're

644
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,640
looking at the bottom line.
But if you look at the actual

645
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,640
core community, they're there to
support you.

646
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:24,560
Thanks.
Yeah.

647
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,040
Thank you, Janae.
I appreciate that comment.

648
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,600
And listen, Alex, if you don't
mind, I'm going to keep things

649
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,680
moving here because we're
running out of time and I want

650
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,360
to give people an opportunity to
share their wins from the week.

651
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,520
But first, before we get to
that, I wanted to share just

652
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,840
briefly a little bit about how I
edited that clip that I played

653
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,440
at the top of the show.
Again, it was over 3 minutes

654
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,640
long.
And when I sat down this

655
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,040
morning, I was just, I was a
little bit nervous because I

656
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,240
didn't know that I'd even have
enough time.

657
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:58,120
Hold on, I don't know if I'd
have enough time to really edit

658
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,040
it down to something digestible
for all of you to hear.

659
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,480
I did not want to play 3 minutes
of a clip just to get to that

660
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,840
one point about the the Rewatch
podcast.

661
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:13,960
I decided to roll the dice with
Chat GPTI went into it.

662
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,920
I didn't have any special custom
GPT built or anything like that.

663
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,960
I just went into the the regular
ChatGPT, which of course has a a

664
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,200
good understanding of me and all
the different things that I do,

665
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,960
and I said to it the following
prompt.

666
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:35,160
Act as an expert content editor.
You're a master at taking long

667
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,240
clips of content and cutting
them down considerably while

668
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:40,480
still capturing the heart of the
content.

669
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,080
That was the first thing that I
told it.

670
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,120
I didn't give it anything else
and it acknowledged it.

671
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,160
It even gave me a little bit of
a breakdown of how it was going

672
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,040
to do that.
Then I fed it the transcript

673
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,200
along with a more specific
prompt.

674
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,120
I told it what the transcript
was, who it came from.

675
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,000
And then I said the part I'm
most interested in sharing on my

676
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,160
podcast today is when he talks
about the Rewatch podcast and

677
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,960
how he believes those years of
pod, the years of that podcast

678
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,680
contributed to the success of
the Scrubs reboot series.

679
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:19,240
And then I said I wanted it to
edit down the version.

680
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,560
The edited down version needs to
capture a glimpse of the success

681
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,000
of the reboot series and then
jump to the part about the

682
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000
rewatch podcast and why it
contributed to the reboot series

683
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,720
success.
And the final part of the prompt

684
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:36,920
I said was I want the whole clip
to be 30 to 45 seconds.

685
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:42,200
And it brilliantly, you know,
with the transcript, cut it down

686
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,080
to exactly what you just heard.
Some of the time codes were

687
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,440
slightly off.
And that's only because the

688
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,080
transcript wasn't provided, you
know, word for word, time code

689
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,720
for time code, right?
So it had to kind of take a

690
00:38:55,720 --> 00:39:00,120
couple of liberties, a couple of
guesses, but it literally took

691
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:05,040
me 3 minutes to go through that
three minute clip, find those

692
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,600
points that it directed me to
do, cut out all the rest and

693
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,200
play what I played for you all
this morning.

694
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,560
It was a piece of cake.
So I wanted to share this with

695
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,760
you because I believe that there
is some value here for you as a

696
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,800
podcaster.
You could do this theoretically

697
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,760
with your podcast episodes.
You could put in the raw

698
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,200
recording transcript.
I might do it in sections just

699
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,040
to try to keep it as accurate as
possible.

700
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,360
But you could say, you know,
maybe you did a podcast

701
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,360
interview where your guest was
really long winded.

702
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,600
Maybe you share one of those
answers that were those long

703
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,520
winded answers with ChatGPT, you
give it a similar prompt like

704
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,520
that and have it suggest what to
cut out.

705
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:57,400
So I will also in the show
notes, I will share that ChatGPT

706
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,960
conversation that I had so that
you can go and just actually see

707
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,440
it step by step because there
were a couple of little things I

708
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,560
had it I had tweaked it to do.
So I want you to be able to see

709
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,000
the full picture, and it's much
easier for you to see it than

710
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,160
for me to share it.
Sid, you have a question.

711
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,440
Go ahead.
One of my favorite ways to

712
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:22,760
utilize ChatGPT is brainstorming
or having it act as a consultant

713
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,280
or a coach.
And I did that last week and I.

714
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,080
Was concerned about the
messaging on something and so I

715
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,600
uploaded some documents and.
Said act as a business as a

716
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,400
sales and marketing coach and
critique the attached.

717
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,480
These are my goals.
This is what?

718
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,840
I'm trying to do and it was very
enjoyable hour because I felt

719
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,120
like I'd been put in my place
because he highlighted all the

720
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,480
things that I had done wrong and
you know, where the messaging

721
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,400
was really soft and how it
wasn't pointing to the problem

722
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,960
that existed and you know, blah,
blah, blah.

723
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,680
And I'm like, you're so on
point.

724
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,360
And sometimes I think we just
get so caught up in what we're

725
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,480
doing that we overlook some of
the things we already know, but

726
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,840
we just overlooked them because
we're so caught up in doing it.

727
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,760
And I think utilizing ChatGPT
for something like that to help

728
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,720
you improve is a great use of
your time with that tool.

729
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:16,560
Thank you, Sid, for sharing
that.

730
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,800
I think the lesson that I think
we both have shared here is

731
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,160
that, again, AI isn't going to
just do it for you.

732
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,000
If you just say, here's the
transcript, I want you to make

733
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,760
it better, right?
You're not going to get the kind

734
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,520
of answers that that we got
because we were very specific

735
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:40,240
with our prompt and we
understand what's involved in

736
00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:44,000
something like a content edit.
Like in my case, in other words,

737
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,240
I was very specific in that
second prompt.

738
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,600
I told it what I was looking
for, what what I the essence of

739
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,600
what I wanted that clip to share
with my audience.

740
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,120
So you do have to understand a
little bit about podcasting in

741
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,200
order to accomplish something
like this.

742
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,400
And hopefully with me sharing it
with you, that'll get you

743
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,600
thinking about how you may want
to prompt your AI tool.

744
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,920
I hope that makes sense.
And BC, did you want to chime

745
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,720
in?
I am wondering about, you know,

746
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:16,280
hallucination.
So if we've, I don't know if

747
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,880
we've talked about hallucination
with ChatGPT on here before.

748
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,720
For those who don't know what it
is, yeah.

749
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,560
It's when ChatGPT gets a prompt,
it riddles off an answer.

750
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,320
It sounds very learned in the
topic, but when you actually

751
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,920
compare it, it's like 50% can be
made-up by ChatGPT.

752
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,400
I'm curious because I like to
give it personas a lot of times

753
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,080
too, just to make sure that
conversations are within certain

754
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,440
bumpers.
Do we know whether or not doing

755
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:45,360
that actually helps to hinder
the potential for hallucination

756
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,360
within ChatGPT?
Or is it just it might still

757
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,480
happen just within this
parameter of the persona?

758
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:54,160
Please forgive me, not sure I'm
following the question but

759
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:59,200
that's just me.
He's saying if you give ChatGPT

760
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:05,320
A framework, if you give chat
GPTA persona, does that cut down

761
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,760
on the hallucinations And and
BCI think that's a brilliant

762
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,920
question because AI
hallucination is a real thing.

763
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:13,600
And BC I'm glad you brought that
up.

764
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,800
I don't want to step on your
toes BC but that's where you

765
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,640
were going, right?
Yeah, exactly.

766
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,200
But that's exactly it.
I understood what BC was asking

767
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,240
there and I think it's it's
impossible to completely tamp

768
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:26,720
down on what hallucination stuff
is.

769
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:31,400
I think even today the word
hallucination is a legacy term.

770
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,200
I'm not sure it's categorized
the right way these days in

771
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,320
terms of how it appears.
But to Mark's point, practice

772
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:44,960
testing the frameworks, how you
build the prompts, all of that

773
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,000
is supervision.
And that supervision is

774
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,880
important to, on reflection,
check the work that it does.

775
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,040
Because I've had an instance
where I've given a Part 1,

776
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,360
actually Part 1 of a transcript
of an episode that I was doing

777
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,120
for a client and did all the
stuff, blah, blah, blah, blah,

778
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,400
came to do Part 2.
And I always do it in a project

779
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,080
with a custom instruction that
separates it from the other

780
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,200
chats in that project to ensure
that it stays in its own line.

781
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,280
And I gave it the second part
transcript and it did it's own

782
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,400
thing, came up with a summary
and I read it and I thought,

783
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,920
hang on, that's, that's not
right.

784
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:27,880
What it had done is bled some of
the inferences it was making for

785
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,600
where the rest of the
conversation would go based on

786
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,120
Part 1 and was using its own
predictions as opposed to

787
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,000
referencing the transcript.
But while you might call that a

788
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,240
hallucination and say, oh,
that's a problem, it's it's a

789
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:43,840
reason not to use it.
Instead, you have to look at it

790
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,960
and treat the LLM as a dumb
intern and go, buddy, is this

791
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,560
what I've asked you to do?
And it sheepishly looks at its

792
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:54,400
feet and goes, no.
And so you say, let's have a

793
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,840
look at the transcript again,
and then you tell me if what you

794
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,600
got there was right.
And inevitably it goes, oops,

795
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,160
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I got that wrong.

796
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,440
You're absolutely right.
Let me try that again.

797
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:13,360
And while reflecting on that
process, it's, you might go,

798
00:45:13,720 --> 00:45:17,360
well, ChatGPT is horrible.
Gemini's never been that dumb

799
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,640
for me.
Invariably they'll all have some

800
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,680
sort of aspect like that.
But being on top of it, getting

801
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,960
the practice in and knowing how
to do it, you can't.

802
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,240
Like any problem in technology,
most of the problems come about

803
00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:30,320
when you try to control it with
the technology.

804
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,880
If the humans are involved, the
human supervision aspect is

805
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,960
where you'll do the QA to make
sure it's what you want.

806
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,680
And that's also at the heart of
all of the AI generated content

807
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,560
we see everywhere.
That gives us the ick.

808
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:44,720
That'd be a subject for another.
Thing, Yeah.

809
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,640
Thank you, Matt.
Yeah.

810
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,680
And look there sometimes though,
I will say like if you do get a

811
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:55,000
response or if you're working
with ChatGPT as an example and

812
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,920
it's not giving you the kind of
output that you're looking for.

813
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,600
Yeah, jump to a different tool,
go to a Gemini just to see if

814
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:06,200
it's going to give you something
more accurate, something better,

815
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:07,840
something that you are looking
for.

816
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:13,240
I do that sometimes when I make
our cover art for the podcasting

817
00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:16,720
morning chat.
Sometimes ChatGPT hits the nail

818
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:19,960
on the head.
Other times I am fighting it to

819
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,000
to spit out the image that I
wanted to create.

820
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:28,520
So I just basically recreate a
prompt and go into somewhere

821
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,920
like Gemini and see if it can do
it better.

822
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,320
And often times it does.
It's just, I don't know why it's

823
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,680
just maybe it's not
hallucinating in that moment

824
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,240
where ChatGPT is.
But yeah, there's nothing wrong

825
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:43,080
with trying other tools.
I know that's a little bit

826
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,560
different than where Matt was
going with it, but I did it just

827
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,120
sparked that thought.
So I just wanted to get it out

828
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,200
there.
OK, listen, I want to make sure

829
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,040
we get to wins from the week.
And what I'm going to do is

830
00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:00,400
those of you who are on
Clubhouse, go ahead and put a

831
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,280
one in the chat if you would
like to share your wins from

832
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,160
this past week.
Those of you who are listening

833
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,400
in the audience on Clubhouse,
feel free to come up on stage if

834
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,920
you want to share any wins from
your week.

835
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:18,680
And of course, if you are on the
live stream here on Riverside,

836
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,440
raise your hand if you'd like to
share 'cause that hand stays

837
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,400
there until I call on you.
We're going to start with Sid

838
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,200
this morning.
Go ahead, Sid.

839
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:31,200
My win for the week is clarity
and just clarity on a few things

840
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,600
that doodling around in my brain
and getting clarity on what I

841
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,440
want to do with a couple of
things in my business.

842
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,200
And so clarity is a really good
thing.

843
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,480
So I'm grateful and that's my
win for this week is clarity on

844
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,480
some things that I want to move
forward with.

845
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,680
I love that.
Congratulations, Sid.

846
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,160
I think clarity often feels very
good when we find it.

847
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,400
Thank you for sharing that.
I'm going to go to Ashley next.

848
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,960
Go ahead, Ashley.
I've got two big ones this week,

849
00:47:59,240 --> 00:48:03,920
so this past Monday was the very
first meet up for our Songs and

850
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,320
Poems from a Hat meet up group.
It's a accountability and

851
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,720
challenge group.
It went really well.

852
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:13,520
In case anybody's wondering, the
word we drew from the hat was

853
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,840
flower.
So people who are participating

854
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:20,840
have a month to create something
with the theme of flower.

855
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:25,160
And my other win is I had a
fundraiser this week for my

856
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:30,440
podcast to cover travel expenses
for me to go do media coverage

857
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,600
at Swanee Spring Reunion in
March.

858
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,960
My goal was to raise $800 and
I'm sitting at 7:55, so I'm

859
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,240
going to hit the goal today.
Awesome.

860
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:42,960
Congratulations, Ashley.
Very cool.

861
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:47,280
And I'm going to keep it moving
for the sake of time and go to

862
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,400
Matt.
Matt, give us a quick win, would

863
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,200
you?
I was very happy this week after

864
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,640
having a client that I took on
board I think in October last

865
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,920
year, to finally get through the
drafts of their initial set of

866
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:02,080
interviews, which were recorded
before I got to them.

867
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,280
But they were excellent
interviews.

868
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,520
It was just a hard slog for the
last few months to get through

869
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,120
them.
So I feel pretty happy about

870
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,000
doing it.
And that's for a university for

871
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,960
as an internal podcast.
So hopefully I can report back

872
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,640
on on how successful that is.
Oh, that's really cool.

873
00:49:16,720 --> 00:49:18,480
Yeah, Please do.
I'd love to hear that.

874
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:19,280
Yeah.
I like that.

875
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,640
It feels it's nice to have
something a little different.

876
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,840
Not the typical podcast as as a
podcast producer, I can relate

877
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:27,440
to that.
So that that's exciting.

878
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:32,520
Congratulations, Matt.
And let's go to Janae Jannade.

879
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,120
Share a win.
Excellent win number one.

880
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,440
I've finalized the beta launch
for the app that I've been

881
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,800
working on.
I've gotten a ton of feedback

882
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,440
from.
I think I've talked to at least

883
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:47,160
35 different podcasters and
everybody has been blown away by

884
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,840
what it's able to do me.
And thanks, Mark.

885
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:54,320
And what's amazing is that every
single day I have new ideas that

886
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,120
are going in the backlog.
So I've also built the community

887
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,840
where you can see all the
features that are deployed, all

888
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,360
the features that are waiting
for voting.

889
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,000
So I want to make it so it's
community driven.

890
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,520
I want to hear what people want
in it.

891
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,720
So then I can put it in.
And not only does it help me,

892
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:12,480
but also helps everybody that's
going to be using the app as

893
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:13,880
well.
So that's my big win.

894
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,720
Thank you.
Hey, Janae, maybe you want to

895
00:50:15,720 --> 00:50:19,040
add a, some sort of, I know I'm
giving you more work.

896
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:24,320
Maybe you want to add some sort
of public forum for your

897
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,160
community that you're building
through this app so that people

898
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,840
can share within the system.
They could share with one

899
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:32,520
another.
Oh, we'd love to see this idea,

900
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,640
Janae.
And this is working really well

901
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,040
for us.
That would be something kind of

902
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,800
cool.
I think I would enjoy if I.

903
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:38,920
Mark.
You what?

904
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,720
What's that?
I've already built it.

905
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,600
Right on very.
Community.

906
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,880
Yeah, community.podglue.com It's
a community.

907
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,440
Anybody can log in.
There's a like a physical text

908
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,840
based forum you can put in
ideas.

909
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:56,240
So again, I was, I'm thinking of
all the things that I've seen

910
00:50:56,240 --> 00:50:59,280
work in the past decades or so
of, you know, software

911
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:00,520
development.
So thank you.

912
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,160
Thank you for suggesting that
because it means I'm on the same

913
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,080
wavelength as you are.
Yeah, awesome.

914
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,880
Congratulations there.
Matthew asks what is the

915
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,840
podcasting operating system in a
sentence.

916
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,160
And I think it's basically, if
I'll share my explanation from

917
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:20,560
what I saw, it's, it's a system
that keeps every step of the

918
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,480
podcasting process organized for
you.

919
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:27,600
And not just organized, but it's
also assisting you along the way

920
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,640
with each and every step by
assisting.

921
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,880
For example, I'll throw out one
that I know that Janae's system

922
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:39,040
does is when it comes time to
designing your thumbnails for

923
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:43,720
YouTube for your podcast, it'll
help you do that based on that

924
00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:46,120
episode specifically.
But that's just one small

925
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:51,560
example of Janae's tool that I
really encourage people to check

926
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,240
out.
So more to come on that.

927
00:51:53,240 --> 00:51:57,680
I know it's launching officially
very soon, and I'm going to keep

928
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,600
going.
And let's go to Ralph.

929
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,880
Ralph, please share a win.
So I've got to win and this is

930
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,400
one of those wins that you just
want to grab and get a hold of

931
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,000
and just love on.
So I went to church on Sunday,

932
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,960
as everybody knows, I do a
religious Christian of daily

933
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,120
finance podcast called
financially confident Christian.

934
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,920
And I sat down in church and
this fellow comes in.

935
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,400
We always shake hands of people
are coming in.

936
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,040
And he looks at me and he goes,
you're the YouTube, right?

937
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,200
And I was like, yeah, as a
matter of fact, that he goes, I

938
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,240
love your show.
He says, I don't miss it on a

939
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:29,840
single day.
And I looked at him like, are

940
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,360
you serious, dude?
Like, you really was like,

941
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:32,480
somebody's actually listening to
this.

942
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:33,960
And he said, no, you don't
understand it.

943
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,080
She said, I'm a real estate
agent.

944
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,200
And he said, I tell every single
person I know how you have

945
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:39,920
married faith and finance
together.

946
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:43,240
He says, if you don't do it for
any other reason, Ralph, you're

947
00:52:43,240 --> 00:52:46,680
touching one person a day.
Keep up the good work and I'm

948
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,200
going to tell you right now, he
could have written me a check

949
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,600
for $1,000,000.
It wouldn't have been as

950
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,680
valuable as that comment.
So that's one of those things

951
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,680
that as a content creator, man,
you hear that and you just you

952
00:52:55,680 --> 00:53:00,480
just go amazing second win.
My content creators accountant

953
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,960
YouTube page has now hit 110,000
subscribers.

954
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,840
That is after about 90 days.
So I want to appreciate, I want

955
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,960
to thank everybody who's been
over there and checked it out.

956
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,560
It is definitely a video first
podcast, but thank you so much,

957
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:14,720
Mark.
Yeah, Thank you.

958
00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:19,240
Congratulations to you as well.
I'm going to share my win after

959
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,320
Dr. shares her.
Go ahead, Dr. For the past five

960
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,200
years, I'm going to talk fast.
For the past five years, I have

961
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:31,320
been involved in a private
Facebook group of podcast

962
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,200
producers, podcast managers, and
the.

963
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:39,200
It's based on a course on a
podcast production course that

964
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:44,120
we have all invested in.
And the course creator decided

965
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:49,960
to kind of sundown the course,
she left the Facebook group

966
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,800
open.
But one of the things that we

967
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,880
really, really miss is the
weekly strategy calls that we

968
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,440
would do.
And Mark and I have decided to

969
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:03,520
carry the torch for that.
We have created another Facebook

970
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:09,360
group and a lot of a lot of the
people from the the old one have

971
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,160
transferred over to the new one.
We have a strategy call

972
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:19,120
scheduled for next week and I am
so pleased to get this going.

973
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:23,160
And all I'm hearing from all my
all my producer friends from

974
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,920
that old group is, oh, thank
God, we really, really want

975
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,400
this.
So I am so pleased.

976
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,200
That's awesome.
Congratulations.

977
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,720
And I'm proud to be a part of
that win.

978
00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:35,720
Dr. I'm looking forward to
meeting all these people and I'm

979
00:54:35,720 --> 00:54:37,840
also looking forward to
connecting with them because I

980
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,320
think that who knows, I think at
least some of them might be able

981
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,640
to bring a lot of value to this
very show as well.

982
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,200
So we will see how all of that
goes.

983
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,320
Congratulations to you.
I had a few wins, but I'm just

984
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:54,800
going to share, I think for now,
one of them this week, I

985
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:59,240
upgraded the podcasting morning
chat website at pod page to

986
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:03,280
their elite package.
And that's a big move for me

987
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,880
because it gives us stronger
SEO, deeper analytics, better

988
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:13,680
automation, and tools that'll
help rank US on Google and serve

989
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,960
our community at a much higher
level.

990
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,200
I'm always telling you to treat
your podcast like a business.

991
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:23,240
And Ralph has has been talking a
lot about that as well lately.

992
00:55:23,240 --> 00:55:26,520
And this is me doing exactly
that.

993
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,560
So if you want to check it out
for yourself or support the

994
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,360
show, I'll give you my affiliate
link in the show notes.

995
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,240
So check that out.
That would be a great way to

996
00:55:37,240 --> 00:55:41,280
support this show as if you
decide to get your own Pod page,

997
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:42,960
you don't have to get the elite
status.

998
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,160
Although from what I'm already
seeing, I think it is super

999
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,200
value valuable.
I think it's a great investment

1000
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:52,280
to make.
So go ahead and check that out.

1001
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:56,760
Pod page is a wonderful service
making website.

1002
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,440
I don't want to say development,
but making your podcast website

1003
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:05,760
easy to manage and maintain, so
definitely check that out as

1004
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,200
well.
Oh, and I'll share one other

1005
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,760
quick win because we've talked
about, I think it was yesterday

1006
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,480
where BC was sharing that he got
his personal invite from Alex

1007
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,560
Sanfilippo to the podcasting
Made Simple live.

1008
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,320
I got mine this morning in my
inbox.

1009
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:23,160
So there's another win as well
because I was feeling a little

1010
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,160
left out yesterday.
But in all seriousness, I

1011
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:31,160
appreciate Alex Sanfilippo and
Pod Match and that free ticket.

1012
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:35,520
OK, gang, we are back Monday,
7:00 AM Eastern.

1013
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,920
As we shared at the top of the
show, Jonathan will be hosting

1014
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:44,200
or leading the conversation for
our next obsession worthy

1015
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,040
podcast breakdown.
And of course, we'll have a full

1016
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,680
week of shows for you covering
all sorts of things, news and

1017
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:54,840
comment and all anything going
on around the world of

1018
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,560
podcasting, we will share that
and discuss it with you.

1019
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:04,440
So until Monday, make it a great
weekend everybody, take care.
