Summary

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we mark the 200th episode of our podcast by telling our story. Each week for over three years, we've conversed with artists, producers, writers, executives, comedians, actors, on-air personalities and dope humans, diving into their ups, their downs, their successes and their vulnerable moments, ultimately celebrating each guest's incredible journey. On Episode 200, we asked the great writer and editor Naomi Zeichner (formerly the EIC of The Fader; currently at YouTube) to stop by the Upper West Side to interview us. We discussed how our family, creativity, day camp, earnestness, the internet, G-Funk, The Office, Kanye West, Consequence, Lyor Cohen, Bun B, DJ Green Lantern, Miss Info, HBO, MTV, NahRight, love and loss shaped our lives and our decade-long-plus career.

Episode 200. We made it. Do you have any idea what that means?

0:09.6

Because I don't. Yeah, I feel like... I'm not sure what the difference is between episodes

0:14.3

199 and 200 and 201 are. It is a milestone. Okay, so I've been doing a lot of thinking about

what it possibly could be. And I'm being honest when I say I don't know what the So I've been doing a lot of thinking about what it possibly could be.

0:21.3

And I'm being honest when I say, I don't know what the difference is because we put a lot of

0:24.6

effort into any episode that we put out there. We want it to be the best one. I certainly,

0:30.4

the episodes are now better than they were when we first started. But I think that if there's

0:36.3

anything that 200 means, it's like longevity, it's consistency,

0:40.5

it's the fact that we never gave up.

0:42.3

And I think that's a message that does ring true for about, you know, 90-something percent

and gutter balls and strikes.

And in the end, they've made it.

They've made it to this point.

1:00.6

And they've made it to creating something that is celebrated.

1:04.2

And if people are willing to celebrate this episode, to celebrate us, to celebrate the fact that we have gone 200 episodes, not skipped

1:12.4

a week, sometimes giving you 12 episodes in 12 days, sometimes gone. More? Yeah, it's just crazy with them.

1:21.4

Then that is to be celebrated, and I think that that's really cool. So episode 200, what has this

1:26.9

podcast done that you never

1:28.1

expected to do? I mean, it got us to London. That's a pretty big deal. That was dope. But I think
