0:00.0 | Hey everyone, hi, hello, it is me, Allison Rosen. Welcome to another episode of Allison Rosen is your new best friend. |
0:29.0 | I'm sitting here with Matt Myra, whom you know as one of the hosts of the Nerdist podcast and a writer for At Midnight and there's other stuff. |
0:38.0 | It's too much stuff. Also, I like that you play the theme music live that really saves you a lot of work pointing at Jack. |
0:46.0 | It helps. That's all that does. You're just lazy. Or do you just like it? You like hearing it? Yeah, I like you. |
0:54.0 | Yeah, I think so. Why take it you guys don't know God know because you just don't have that kind of time or for two years. Chris was doing intro on the podcast that I never knew existed. |
1:04.0 | I take it. You don't listen to your own podcast. No, I would do that. I experienced it once. That was enough. I know. So that's people tweet like you said this and I go, what? |
1:14.0 | At the very beginning, I used to listen and then I stopped ever listening and only recently I started listening again. Are you going back through the back catalog? No, no, no, no, no, just to hear your arc. No, no, I don't have that kind of time or interest in myself. |
1:31.0 | No, I just wanted sort of want to hear what's going on. I just feel like it's good to check in every now. Yeah, you want to check. It's not for the right exactly. That's what it was because I listened to an episode recently and I realized there's |
1:43.0 | we don't have enough energy. Yeah, I had to fire my husband. Yeah, and I had that workout. I'm getting unemployment. Yeah, exactly. I forgot that I had ever paid into it. Yeah, it's fine. |
1:56.0 | So what are the other what are the other podcast? I do other podcast called James Bonding, which is with Matt Gourley. We talk about James Bond movies exhaustively. |
2:08.0 | Sometimes longer than the length of the actual movie we're talking about. And then the other one I do is with Scott Moser of the smart cast. He and I do a podcast called Feeb, which is four eyes and beard. Both of those are very intermittent. They're sort of whenever we decide to do one. |
2:25.0 | So for instance, I believe we've done one feeb this year. There's one sitting on a hard drive at home. I've so lazily forgotten to put up that we now have to record another one because there's a new ad and I have to so we'll have two of those up very soon and James Bonding. |
2:39.0 | That's hard to it's just schedules that are hard to do and then people get mad at you that they're free stuff's not there on time. |
2:47.0 | Well, and here's a very inside baseball question and then we will get outside of the baseball diamond and catch up with like how you got to where you are and all that. But what's that like doing podcasts on different networks? |
3:00.0 | It's great. I did deliberately did that. I don't want to I don't want to be tied to one entity. I'm sure you can understand that kind of thing. But you don't want to be tied to one place you want to spread out. |
3:13.0 | So I don't want to have all my eggs in one basket. I don't want them in hardwicks basket. His basket's full enough. It's got TV shows in there and I can't fit all the time. |
3:23.0 | No, and it also was just sort of a way of going just letting me feel like I was breathing outside of the Nerdist umbrella. |
3:33.0 | As much as it's some of it we do James Bonding is on the Nerdist network. Feed was originally supposed to be a co-nurdist, smart cast thing and then it just turned into I just have everybody it's smart to do all the stuff for us. |
3:46.0 | So that's really all that all gets handled over there. |
3:49.0 | But there's no like hey, why are you? |
3:51.0 | Yeah, no, it's good. It's cool. |
3:53.0 | It's cool. You know, there's there's potentially it depends on there's another podcast that's been circulating that we've been talking about doing. |
